    摘要: A III-nitride device includes a first n-type layer, a first p-type layer, and an active region separating the first p-type layer and the first n-type layer. The device may include a second n-type layer and a tunnel junction separating the first and second n-type layers. First and second contacts are electrically connected to the first and second n-type layers. The first and second contacts are formed from the same material, a material with a reflectivity to light emitted by the active region greater than 75%. The device may include a textured layer disposed between the second n-type layer and the second contact or formed on a surface of a growth substrate opposite the device layers.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure includes an n-type region, a p-type region, and a III-nitride light emitting layer disposed between the n-type region and the p-type region. The III-nitride light emitting layer has a lattice constant greater than 3.19 Å. Such a semiconductor structure may be grown on a substrate including a host and a seed layer bonded to the host. In some embodiments, a bonding layer bonds the host to the seed layer. The seed layer may be thinner than a critical thickness for relaxation of strain in the semiconductor structure, such that strain in the semiconductor structure is relieved by dislocations formed in the seed layer, or by gliding between the seed layer and the bonding layer an interface between the two layers. In some embodiments, the host may be separated from the semiconductor structure and seed layer by etching away the bonding layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting device includes a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The light emitting layer may be a wurtzite III-nitride layer with a thickness of at least 50 angstroms. The light emitting layer may have a polarization reversed from a conventional wurtzite III-nitride layer, such that across an interface between the light emitting layer and the p-type region, the wurtzite c-axis points toward the light emitting layer. Such an orientation of the c-axis may create a negative sheet charge at an interface within or at the edge of the p-type region, providing a barrier to charge carriers in the light emitting layer.

    摘要: To increase the lattice constant of AlInGaP LED layers to greater than the lattice constant of GaAs for reduced temperature sensitivity, an engineered growth layer is formed over a substrate, where the growth layer has a lattice constant equal to or approximately equal to that of the desired AlInGaP layers. In one embodiment, a graded InGaAs or InGaP layer is grown over a GaAs substrate. The amount of indium is increased during growth of the layer such that the final lattice constant is equal to that of the desired AlInGaP active layer. In another embodiment, a very thin InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer is grown on a GaAs substrate, where the InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer is strained (compressed). The InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP thin layer is then delaminated from the GaAs and relaxed, causing the lattice constant of the thin layer to increase to the lattice constant of the desired overlying AlInGaP LED layers. The LED layers are then grown over the thin InGaP, InGaAs, or AlInGaP layer.
