摘要:
In a process for forming a mask material on a III-N layer, wherein III denotes an element of the group III of the Periodic Table of Elements, selected from Al, Ga and In, a III-N layer having a surface is provided which comprises more than one facet. Mask material is selectively deposited only on one or multiple, but not on all facets. The deposition of mask material may be particularly carried out during epitaxial growth of a III-N layer under growth conditions, by which (i) growth of at least a further III-N layer selectively on a first type or a first group of facet(s) and (ii) a deposition of mask material selectively on a second type or a second group of facet(s) proceed simultaneously. By the process according to the invention, it is possible to produce free-standing thick III-N layers. Further, semiconductor devices or components having special structures and layers can be produced.
摘要:
A radiation-emitting optoelectronic component with an active zone having a quantum well structure (5) containing at least one first nitride compound semiconductor material. The quantum well structure (5) is grown on at least one side facet (9) of a nonplanar structure (4) containing at least one second nitride compound semiconductor material. As a result of the quantum well structure (5) being grown onto a side facet (9), piezoelectric fields caused by lattice mismatches are advantageously reduced and the homogeneity of the quantum well structure (5) is improved.
