Abstract:
An apparatus for evaluating the quality of a crystal includes an optical device that measures a surface reflectance of a wafer in which a V-pit is formed; and a data processing unit that calculates a threading dislocation density by calculating a difference in surface reflectance of the wafer that is measured by the optical device.
Abstract:
A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting structure including a first-conductivity-type nitride semiconductor layer on a substrate, an active layer on the first-conductivity-type nitride semiconductor layer, and a second-conductivity-type nitride semiconductor layer on the active layer, and a buffer layer between the substrate and the light-emitting structure. The buffer layer includes a plurality of voids. The plurality of voids extend vertically into the buffer layer from a surface of the buffer layer. The surface of the buffer layer is proximate to the light-emitting structure. The plurality of voids have different horizontal sectional areas.
