摘要: A III-Nitride LED which utilizes n-type III-Nitride layers for current spreading on both sides of the device. A multilayer dielectric coating is used underneath the wire bond pads, both LED contacts are deposited in one step, and the p-side wire bond pad is moved off of the mesa. The LED has a wall plug efficiency or External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) over 70%, a fractional EQE droop of less than 7% at 20 A/cm2 drive current and less than 15% at 35 A/cm2 drive current. The LEDs can be patterned into an LED array and each LED can have an edge dimension of between 5 and 50 μm. The LED emission wavelength can be below 400 nm and aluminum can be added to the n-type III-Nitride layers such that the bandgap of the n-type III-nitride layers is larger than the LED emission photon energy.

摘要: A III-nitride tunnel junction with a modified p-n interface, wherein the modified p-n interface includes a delta-doped layer to reduce tunneling resistance. The delta-doped layer may be doped using donor atoms comprised of Oxygen (O), Germanium (Ge) or Silicon (Si); acceptor atoms comprised of Magnesium (Mg) or Zinc (Zn); or impurities comprised of Iron (Fe) or Carbon (C).

摘要: A hybrid growth method for III-nitride tunnel junction devices uses metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to grow one or more light-emitting or light-absorbing structures and ammonia-assisted or plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow one or more tunnel junctions. Unlike p-type gallium nitride (p-GaN) grown by MOCVD, p-GaN grown by MBE is conductive as grown, which allows for its use in a tunnel junction. Moreover, the doping limits of MBE materials are higher than MOCVD materials. The tunnel junctions can be used to incorporate multiple active regions into a single device. In addition, n-type GaN (n-GaN) can be used as a current spreading layer on both sides of the device, eliminating the need for a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer or a silver (Au) mirror.

摘要: A physical vapor deposition (e.g., sputter deposition) method for III-nitride tunnel junction devices uses metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to grow one or more light-emitting or light-absorbing structures and electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) sputtering to grow one or more tunnel junctions. In another method, the surface of the p-type layer is treated before deposition of the tunnel junction on the p-type layer. In yet another method, the whole device (including tunnel junction) is grown using MOCVD and the p-type layers of the III-nitride material are reactivated by lateral diffusion of hydrogen through mesa sidewalls in the III-nitride material, with one or more lateral dimensions of the mesa that are less than or equal to about 200 μm. A flip chip display device is also disclosed.

摘要: A III-nitride optoelectronic device includes at least one n-type layer, an active region grown on or above the n-type layer, at least one p-type layer grown on or above the active region, and a tunnel junction grown on or above the p-type layer. A conductive oxide may be wafer bonded on or above the tunnel junction, wherein the conductive oxide comprises a transparent conductor and may contain light extraction features on its non-bonded face. The tunnel junction also enables monolithic incorporation of electrically-injected and optically-pumped III-nitride layers, wherein the optically-pumped III-nitride layers comprise high-indium-content III-nitride layers formed as quantum wells (QWs) that are grown on or above the tunnel junction. The optically-pumped high-indium-content III-nitride layers emit light at a longer wavelength than the electrically-injected III-nitride layers.
