Galliumnitride Nanostripes with Semipolar Quantum Wells for LED and Laser Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
We present LEDs and asymmetric waveguide structures with embedded nanostripes and semipolar {101̄1} quantum wells. All samples are based on c-plane GaN/AlGaN templates grown heteroepitaxially on c-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy. The nanostripes have a periodicity of 250 nm and were achieved by selective area epitaxy with dielectric growth masks structured on full 2-inch wafers. After quantum well growth on the semipolar crystal facets of the nanostripes, they are completely embedded, resulting in a flat c-plane surface. This allows conventional device processing to be applied. Structural, optical, and electrical characterization has been performed.

True-Green Photonic Crystal LED Based on GaN Nanostripes
A bottom-up approach for photonic crystal emitters and LEDs with semipolar quantum wells on large foreign substrates is presented. Structured c-oriented GaN/AlGaN templates are overgrown with GaN nanostripes and semipolar QWs emitting in the true-green spectral region. After embedding, the stripes and the growth mask act as one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal. Electroluminescence shows bright...
متن کاملBlue to true green LEDs with semipolar quantum wells based on GaN nanostripes
Recent advances of the performance of GaN based devices with semipolar quantum wells have been realized homoepitaxially on pseudo bulk substrates which are typically small in size and high in cost. These limitations fuel the search for cheap and large area alternatives. Heteroepitaxial growth on sapphire substrates is well established with excellent results for polar GaN structures the growth o...
متن کاملLaser Structures with Semipolar Quantum Wells Grown by Selective Area Epitaxy
Using selective area epitaxy to produce three-dimensional GaN structures, two different concepts for laser diodes (LDs) with semipolar quantum wells (QWs) are developed, each having distinct advantages and disadvantages. The first approach utilizes a stripe with triangular cross-section not only to grow semipolar quantum wells on, but also as waveguide and resonator cavity. Based on simulations...
متن کاملValence band states and polarized optical emission from nonpolar and semipolar III–nitride quantum well optoelectronic devices
Nonpolar and semipolar III–nitride quantum wells (QWs) and devices have been extensively studied due to their unique valence band (VB) structure and polarized optical emission. Unlike conventional c-plane oriented III–nitride QWs, the low crystal symmetry and unbalanced biaxial stress in nonpolar and semipolar QWs separates the topmost VBs and gives rise to polarized optical emission. Since the...

We report on the large area realization of GaN photonic crystal slabs with semipolar InGaN quantum wells (QWs) using laser interference lithography and selective area metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Directional extraction of guided modes was observed in angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (ARPL), and the photonic crystal slab dispersion relation was measured. A comparison o...
