    摘要: A method of growing an AlGaN semiconductor layer structure by Molecular Beam Epitaxy comprises supplying ammonia, gallium and aluminium to a growth chamber thereby to grow a first (Al,Ga)N layer by MBE over a substrate disposed in the growth chamber. The first (Al,Ga)N layer has a non-zero aluminium mole fraction. Ammonia is supplied at a beam equivalent pressure of at least 1 10−4 mbar, gallium is supplied at a beam equivalent pressure of at least 1 10−8 mbar and aluminium is supplied at a beam equivalent pressure of at least 1 10−8 mbar during the growth step. Once the first (Al,Ga)N layer has been grown, varying the supply rate of gallium and/or aluminium enables a second (Al,Ga)N layer, having a different aluminium mole fraction from the first (Al,Ga)N layer to be grown by MBE over the first (Al,Ga)N layer. This process may be repeated to grown an (Al,Ga)N multilayer structure.

    摘要: A semiconductor light-emitting device and a method of manufacture thereof A method of manufacturing a semiconductor light-emitting device comprises selectively etching a semiconductor layer structure (16) fabricated in a nitride materials system and including an aluminium-containing cladding region or an aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5). The etching step forms a mesa (17), and also exposes one or more portions of the aluminium-containing cladding region or the aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5). The or each exposed portion of the aluminium-containing cladding region or the aluminium-containing optical guiding region (5) Is then oxidised to form a current blocking layer (18) laterally adjacent to and extending laterally from the mesa. When an electrically conductive contact layer (11) is deposited, the current blocking layer (18) will prevent the contact layer (11) from making direct contact with the buffer layer (3).

    摘要: A method of fabricating the active region of a semiconductor light-emitting device, in which the active region comprises a plurality of barrier layers (11,13,15,17) with each pair of barrier layers being separated by a quantum well layer (12,14,16), comprises annealing each barrier layer (11,13,15,17) separately. Each barrier layer (11,13,15,17) is annealed once it has been grown, and before a layer is grown over the barrier layer. A device grown by the method of the invention has a significantly higher optical power output than a device made by a convention fabrication process having a single annealing step.

    摘要: A method of growing a p-type nitride semiconductor material by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) uses bis(cyclopentadienyl)magnesium (Cp2Mg) as the source of magnesium dopant atoms. Ammonia gas is used as the nitrogen precursor for the MBE growth process. To grow p-type GaN, for example, by the method of the invention, gallium, ammonia and Cp2Mg are supplied to an MBE growth chamber; to grow p-type AlGaN, aluminium is additionally supplied to the growth chamber. The growth process of the invention produces a p-type carrier concentration, as measured by room temperature Hall effect measurements, of up to 2 1017 cm-3, without the need for any post-growth step of activating the dopant atoms.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor device comprises the steps of: growing an InxGa1-xN (0≦x≦1) layer, and growing an aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer over the InxGa1-xN layer at a growth temperature of at least 500° C. so as to form an electron gas region at an interface between the InxGa1-xN layer and the nitride semiconductor layer. The nitride semiconductor layer is then annealed at a temperature of at least 800° C. The method of the invention can provide an electron gas having a sheet carrier density of 6×1013 cm−2 or greater. An electron gas with such a high sheet carrier concentration can be obtained with an aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer having a relatively low aluminium concentration, such as an aluminium mole fraction of 0.3 or below, and without the need to dope the aluminium-containing nitride semiconductor layer or the InxGa1-xN layer.
