摘要:
The present disclosure involves an apparatus. The apparatus includes a substrate having a front side a back side opposite the front side. The substrate includes a plurality of openings formed from the back side of the substrate. The openings collectively define a pattern on the back side of the substrate from a planar view. In some embodiments, the substrate is a silicon substrate or a silicon carbide substrate. Portions of the silicon substrate vertically aligned with the openings have vertical dimensions that vary from about 100 microns to about 300 microns. A III-V group compound layer is formed over the front side of the silicon substrate. The III-V group compound layer is a component of one of: a light-emitting diode (LED), a laser diode (LD), and a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT).

The present disclosure involves an illumination apparatus. The illumination apparatus includes an n-doped semiconductor compound layer, a p-doped semiconductor compound layer spaced apart from the n-doped semiconductor compound layer, and a multiple-quantum-well (MQW) disposed between the first semiconductor compound layer and the second semiconductor compound layer. The MQW includes a plurality of alternating first and second layers. The first layers of the MQW have substantially uniform thicknesses. The second layers have graded thicknesses with respect to distances from the p-doped semiconductor compound layer. A subset of the second layers located most adjacent to the p-doped semiconductor compound layer is doped with a p-type dopant. The doped second layers have graded doping concentration levels that vary with respect to distances from the p-doped semiconductor layer.

The present disclosure involves a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. A surface of a silicon wafer is cleaned. A first buffer layer is then epitaxially grown on the silicon wafer. The first buffer layer contains an aluminum nitride (AlN) material. A second buffer layer is then epitaxially grown on the first buffer layer. The second buffer layer includes a plurality of aluminum gallium nitride (AlxGa1−xN) sub-layers. Each of the sub-layers has a respective value for x that is between 0 and 1. A value of x for each sub-layer is a function of its position within the second buffer layer. A first gallium nitride (GaN) layer is epitaxially grown over the second buffer layer. A third buffer layer is then epitaxially grown over the first GaN layer. A second GaN layer is then epitaxially grown over the third buffer layer.

摘要:
A nano-patterned substrate includes a plurality of nano-particles or nanopillars on an upper surface thereof. A ratio of height to diameter of each of the nano-particles or each of the nanopillars is either greater than or equal to 1. Particularly, a ratio of height to diameter of the nanopillars is greater than or equal to 5. Each of the nano-particles or each of the nanopillars has an arc-shaped top surface. When an epitaxial growth process is applied onto the nano-patterned substrate to form an epitaxial layer, the epitaxial layer has very low defect density. Thus, a production yield of fabricating the subsequent device can be improved.
