The tunnel junction structure comprises a p-type tunnel junction layer of a first semiconductor material, an n-type tunnel junction layer of a second semiconductor material and a tunnel junction between the tunnel junction layers. At least one of the semiconductor materials includes gallium (Ga), arsenic (As) and either nitrogen (N) or antimony (Sb). The probability of tunneling is significantly increased, and the voltage drop across the tunnel junction is consequently decreased, by forming the tunnel junction structure of materials having a reduced difference between the valence band energy of the material of the p-type tunnel junction layer and the conduction band energy of the n-type tunnel junction layer.

A method and apparatus is provided for improving the temperature performance of GaAsSb materials utilizing an AlGaInP confinement structure. An active region containing a GaAsSb quantum well layer and (In)GaAs barrier layers is sandwiched between two AlGaInP confinement layers. AlGaInP confinement structures provide sufficient electron confinement, thereby improving the stability of the threshold current with respect to increasing temperature for GaAsSb/GaAs heterostructures.

摘要:
The light-emitting device comprises a substrate, an active region and a tunnel junction structure. The substrate comprises gallium arsenide. The active region comprises an n-type spacing layer and a p-type spacing layer. The tunnel junction structure comprises a p-type tunnel junction layer adjacent the p-type spacing layer, an n-type tunnel junction layer and a tunnel junction between the p-type tunnel junction layer and the n-type tunnel junction layer. The p-type tunnel junction layer comprises a layer of a p-type first semiconductor material that includes gallium and arsenic. The n-type tunnel junction layer comprises a layer of an n-type second semiconductor material that includes indium, gallium and phosphorus. The high dopant concentration attainable in the second semiconductor material reduces the width of the depletion region at the tunnel junction and increases the electrostatic field across the tunnel junction, so that the reverse bias at which tunneling occurs is reduced.
