    摘要: The extraction efficiency of a light emitting device can be improved by making the absorbing device layers as thin as possible. The internal quantum efficiency decreases as the device layers become thinner. An optimal active layer thickness balances both effects. An AlGaInP LED includes a substrate and device layers including an AlGaInP lower confining layer of a first conductivity type, an AlGaInP active region of a second conductivity type, and an AlGaInP upper confining layer of a second conductivity type. The absorbance of the active region is at least one fifth of the total absorbance in the light-emitting device. The device optionally includes at least one set-back layers of AlGaInP interposing one of confining layer and active region. The p-type upper confining layer may be doped with oxygen improve the reliability.

    摘要: A light-emitting semiconductor device comprises a III-Nitride active region and a III-Nitride layer formed proximate to the active region and having a thickness that exceeds a critical thickness for relaxation of strain in the III-Nitride layer. The III-Nitride layer may be a carrier confinement layer, for example. In another aspect of the invention, a light-emitting semiconductor device comprises a III-Nitride light emitting layer, an InxAlyGa1-x-yN (0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, x+y≦1), and a spacer layer interposing the light emitting layer and the InxAlyGa1-x-yN layer. The spacer layer may advantageously space the InxAlyGa1-x-yN layer and any contaminants therein apart from the light emitting layer. The composition of the III-Nitride layer may be advantageously selected to determine a strength of an electric field in the III-Nitride layer and thereby increase the efficiency with which the device emits light.

    摘要: A process for growing semi-insulating layers of indium phosphide and other group III-V materials through the use of halide dopant or etchant introduction during growth. Gas phase epitaxial growth techniques are utilized at low temperatures to produce indium phosphide layers having a resistivity greater than approximately 10.sup.7 ohm-cm. According to the preferred embodiment carbon tetrachloride is used as a dopant at flow rates above 5 sccm to grow the layers with substrate growth temperatures ranging from approximately 460.degree. C. to 525.degree. C. This temperature range provides an advantage over the transition metal techniques for doping indium phosphide since the high temperatures generally required for those techniques limit the ability to control growth. Good surface morphology is also obtained through the growth according to the present invention. The process may be used to form many types of group III-V semiconductor devices.

    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.
