摘要: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method of manufacture thereof A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting device comprises selectively etching a semiconductor layer structure (16) fabricated in a nitride materials system and including an aluminium-containing cladding region or an aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5). The etching step forms a mesa (17), and also exposes one or more portions of the aluminium-containing cladding region or the aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5). The or each exposed portion of the aluminium-containing cladding region or the aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5) Is then oxidised to form a current blocking layer (18) laterally adjacent to and extending laterally from the mesa. When an electrically conductive contact layer (11) is deposited, the current blocking layer (18) will prevent the contact layer (11) from making direct contact with the buffer layer (3).

摘要: A method of modifying the optical properties of a processed nitride semiconductor light-emitting device initially comprises disposing the processed nitride semiconductor light-emitting device in a vacuum chamber. One or more nitride semiconductor layers are then grown by molecular beam epitaxy thereby to modify the optical properties of the processed light-emitting device. Activated nitrogen, for example from a plasma source, is supplied to the vacuum chamber during growth of the nitride semiconductor layer(s). The use of activated nitrogen reduces the growth temperature required for the growth of the nitride semiconductor layer(s), as the need for thermal activation of a nitrogen species is eliminated. Moreover, use of a growth method such as, for example, plasma-assisted MBE to grow the nitride semiconductor layer(s) allows much more precise control of their thickness and composition.

摘要: A III-nitride compound device which has a layer of AlInN (7) having a non-zero In content, for example acting as a current blocking layer, is described. The layer of AlInN (7) has at least aperture defined therein. The layer of AlInN (7) is grown with a small lattice-mismatch with an underlying layer, for example an underlying GaN layer, thus preventing added crystal strain in the device. By using optimised growth conditions the resistivity of the AlInN is made higher than 102 ohm·cm thus preventing current flow when used as a current blocking layer in a multilayer semiconductor device with layers having smaller resistivity. As a consequence, when the AlInN layer has an opening and is placed in a laser diode device, the resistance of the device is lower resulting in a device with better performance.

摘要: A method of growing a semiconductor layer structure comprises growing a first semiconductor layer and incorporating hydrogen into the first semiconductor layer. One or more further semiconductor layers are then grown over the first semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor layer structure. A selected portion of the first semiconductor layer is then annealed so as to change the electrical resistance of the selected portion of the first semiconductor layer. The electrical resistance of the one or more further semiconductor layers that have been grown over the first semiconductor layer is not significantly changed by the annealing step. The invention may be used, for example, to create a current aperture in a semiconductor layer within a semiconductor layer structure.
