    摘要: Methods of fabricating relaxed layers of semiconductor materials include forming structures of a semiconductor material overlying a layer of a compliant material, and subsequently altering a viscosity of the compliant material to reduce strain within the semiconductor material. The compliant material may be reflowed during deposition of a second layer of semiconductor material. The compliant material may be selected so that, as the second layer of semiconductor material is deposited, a viscosity of the compliant material is altered imparting relaxation of the structures. In some embodiments, the layer of semiconductor material may comprise a III-V type semiconductor material, such as, for example, indium gallium nitride. Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures and devices are also disclosed. Novel intermediate structures are formed during such methods. Engineered substrates include a plurality of structures comprising a semiconductor material disposed on a layer of material exhibiting a changeable viscosity.

    摘要: A method for relaxing a layer of a strained material. The method includes depositing a first low-viscosity layer on a first face of a strained material layer; bonding a first substrate to the first low-viscosity layer to form a first composite structure; subjecting the composite structure to heat treatment sufficient to cause reflow of the first low-viscosity layer so as to at least partly relax the strained material layer; and applying a mechanical pressure to a second face of the strained material layer wherein the second face is opposite to the first face and with the mechanical pressure applied perpendicularly to the strained material layer during at least part of the heat treatment to relax the strained material.

    摘要: A photonic crystal is grown within a semiconductor structure, such as a III-nitride structure, which includes a light emitting region disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The photonic crystal may be multiple regions of semiconductor material separated by a material having a different refractive index than the semiconductor material. For example, the photonic crystal may be posts of semiconductor material grown in the structure and separated by air gaps or regions of masking material. Growing the photonic crystal, rather than etching a photonic crystal into an already-grown semiconductor layer, avoids damage caused by etching which may reduce efficiency, and provides uninterrupted, planar surfaces on which to form electric contacts.
