摘要： Hydrogen-producing assemblies, fuel cell systems including the same, methods of producing hydrogen gas, and methods of powering an energy-consuming device. Hydrogen-producing assemblies may include a monolithic body that defines at least a reforming conduit, and in some embodiments a plurality of reforming conduits, in which a feed stream is catalyzed into a reformate gas stream containing hydrogen gas, and a burner conduit, in which a fuel-air stream is combusted. The monolithic body is constructed to conduct heat generated by the exothermic reaction of the combustion from the burner conduit to the reformer conduit. In some hydrogen-producing assemblies, the monolithic body further defines a vaporizing conduit, in which liquid portions of the feed stream are vaporized prior to being delivered to the reformer conduit, and the monolithic body may be constructed to conduct heat from the burner conduit to the vaporizing conduit.

摘要： A vertical GaN-based blue LED has an n-type layer comprising multiple conductive intervening layers. The n-type layer contains a plurality of periods. Each period of the n-type layer includes a gallium-nitride (GaN) sublayer and a thin conductive aluminum-gallium-nitride (AlGaN:Si) intervening sublayer. In one example, each GaN sublayer has a thickness substantially more than 100 nm and less than 1000 nm, and each AlGaN:Si intervening sublayer has a thickness less than 25 nm. The entire n-type layer is at least 2000 nm thick. The AlGaN:Si intervening layer provides compressive strain to the GaN sublayer thereby preventing cracking. After the epitaxial layers of the LED are formed, a conductive carrier is wafer bonded to the structure. The silicon substrate is then removed. Electrodes are added and the structure is singulated to form a finished LED device. Because the AlGaN:Si sublayers are conductive, the entire n-type layer can remain as part of the finished LED device.

摘要： A vertical GaN-based blue LED has an n-type GaN layer that was grown directly on Low Resistance Layer (LRL) that in turn was grown over a silicon substrate. In one example, the LRL is a low sheet resistance GaN/AlGaN superlattice having periods that are less than 300 nm thick. Growing the n-type GaN layer on the superlattice reduces lattice defect density in the n-type layer. After the epitaxial layers of the LED are formed, a conductive carrier is wafer bonded to the structure. The silicon substrate is then removed. Electrodes are added and the structure is singulated to form finished LED devices. In some examples, some or all of the LRL remains in the completed LED device such that the LRL also serves a current spreading function. In other examples, the LRL is entirely removed so that no portion of the LRL is present in the completed LED device.

摘要： A strain release layer adjoining the active layer in a blue LED is bounded on the bottom by a first relatively-highly silicon-doped region and is also bounded on the top by a second relatively-highly silicon-doped region. The second relatively-highly silicon-doped region is a sublayer of the active layer of the LED. The first relatively-highly silicon-doped region is a sublayer of the N-type layer of the LED. The first relatively-highly silicon-doped region is also separated from the remainder of the N-type layer by an intervening sublayer that is only lightly doped with silicon. The silicon doping profile promotes current spreading and high output power (lumens/watt). The LED has a low reverse leakage current and a high ESD breakdown voltage. The strain release layer has a concentration of indium that is between 5×1019 atoms/cm3 and 5×102° atoms/cm3, and the first and second relatively-highly silicon-doped regions have silicon concentrations that exceed 1×1018 atoms/cm3.
