    摘要: In a III-nitride light emitting device, the device layers including the light emitting layer are grown over a template designed to reduce strain in the device, in particular in the light emitting layer. Reducing the strain in the light emitting device may improve the performance of the device. The template may expand the lattice constant in the light emitting layer over the range of lattice constants available from conventional growth templates. Strain is defined as follows: a given layer has a bulk lattice constant abulk corresponding to a lattice constant of a free standing material of a same composition as that layer and an in-plane lattice constant ain-plane corresponding to a lattice constant of that layer as grown in the structure. The amount of strain in a layer is |(ain-plane−abulk)|/abulk. In some embodiments, the strain in the light emitting layer is less than 1%.

    摘要: In accordance with embodiments of the invention, strain is reduced in the light emitting layer of a III-nitride device by including a strain-relieved layer in the device. The surface on which the strain-relieved layer is grown is configured such that strain-relieved layer can expand laterally and at least partially relax. In some embodiments of the invention, the strain-relieved layer is grown over a textured semiconductor layer or a mask layer. In some embodiments of the invention, the strain-relieved layer is group of posts of semiconductor material.
