    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: 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: 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.

In some embodiments, the host may be separated from the semiconductor structure and seed layer by etching away the bonding layer.

    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.
