摘要:
In a device, a III-nitride light emitting layer is disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A first spacer layer, which is disposed between the n-type region and the light emitting layer, is doped to a dopant concentration between 6×1018 cm3 and 5×1019 cm−3. A second spacer layer, which is disposed between the p-type region and the light emitting layer, is not intentionally doped or doped to a dopant concentration less than 6×1018 cm−3.

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:
A III-nitride light emitting layer in a semiconductor light emitting device has a graded composition. The composition of the light emitting layer may be graded such that the change in the composition of a first element is at least 0.2% per angstrom of light emitting layer. Grading in the light emitting layer may reduce problems associated with polarization fields in the light emitting layer. The light emitting layer may be, for example InxGa1-xN, AlxGa1-xN, or InxAlyGa1-x-yN.

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.

A structure includes a semiconductor light emitting device including a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. The light emitting layer emits first light of a first peak wavelength. A wavelength-converting material that absorbs the first light and emits second light of a second peak wavelength is disposed in the path of the first light. A filter material that transmits a portion of the first light and absorbs or reflects a portion of the first light is disposed over the wavelength-converting material.
摘要:
In a III-nitride light emitting device, a ternary or quaternary light emitting layer is configured to control the degree of phase separation. In some embodiments, the difference between the InN composition at any point in the light emitting layer and the average InN composition in the light emitting layer is less than 20%. In some embodiments, control of phase separation is accomplished by controlling the ratio of the lattice constant in a relaxed, free standing layer having the same composition as the light emitting layer to the lattice constant in a base region. For example, the ratio may be between about 1 and about 1.01.

摘要:
A light emitting device includes a light emitting diode (LED), a concentrator element, such as a compound parabolic concentrator, and a wavelength converting material, such as a phosphor. The concentrator element receives light from the LED and emits the light from an exit surface, which is smaller than the entrance surface. The wavelength converting material is, e.g., disposed over the exit surface. The radiance of the light emitting diode is preserved or increased despite the isotropic re-emitted light by the wavelength converting material. In one embodiment, the polarized light from a polarized LED is provided to a polarized optical system, such as a microdisplay. In another embodiment, the orthogonally polarized light from two polarized LEDs is combined, e.g., via a polarizing beamsplitter, and is provided to non-polarized optical system, such as a microdisplay. If desired, a concentrator element may be disposed between the beamsplitter and the microdisplay.
