    摘要: One embodiment of a quantum well structure comprises an active region including active layers that comprise quantum wells and barrier layers wherein some or all of the active layers are p type doped. P type doping some or all of the active layers improves the quantum efficiency of III-V compound semiconductor light emitting diodes by locating the position of the P-N junction in the active region of the device thereby enabling the dominant radiative recombination to occur within the active region. In one embodiment, the quantum well structure is fabricated in a cluster tool having a hydride vapor phase epitaxial (HVPE) deposition chamber with a eutectic source alloy. In one embodiment, the indium gallium nitride (InGaN) layer and the magnesium doped gallium nitride (Mg—GaN) or magnesium doped aluminum gallium nitride (Mg—AlGaN) layer are grown in separate chambers by a cluster tool to avoid indium and magnesium cross contamination. Doping of group III-nitrides by hydride vapor phase epitaxy using group III-metal eutectics is also described. In one embodiment, a source is provided for HVPE deposition of a p-type or an n-type group III-nitride epitaxial film, the source including a liquid phase mechanical (eutectic) mixture with a group III species. In one embodiment, a method is provided for performing HVPE deposition of a p-type or an n-type group III-nitride epitaxial film, the method including using a liquid phase mechanical (eutectic) mixture with a group III species.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for preparing a substrate for forming electronic devices incorporating III/V compound semiconductors. Elemental halogen gases, hydrogen halide gases, or other halogen or halide gases, are contacted with liquid or solid group III metals to form precursors which are reacted with nitrogen sources to deposit a nitride buffer layer on the substrate. The buffer layer, which may be a transition layer, may incorporate more than one group III metal, and may be deposited with amorphous or crystalline morphology. An amorphous layer may be partially or fully recrystallized by thermal treatment. Instead of a layer, a plurality of discrete nucleation sites may be formed, whose size, density, and distribution may be controlled. The nitrogen source may include reactive nitrogen compounds as well as active nitrogen from a remote plasma source. The composition of the buffer or transition layer may also vary with depth according to a desired profile.
