Abstract

We report on the growth by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy of a InGaN/GaN resonant-cavity light emitting diode (RCLED) emitting at 454 nm and incorporating a 12-pair Al0.82In0.18N/GaN distributed Bragg reflector as bottom mirror. A(1-x)In(x)N layers with an Al content around x similar to 0.17 are lattice matched to GaN, thus avoiding strain-related issues in the subsequent active layers while keeping a high refractive index contrast of 7%, comparable to that achievable in the Al0.5Ga0.5N/GaN system. Devices exhibit clear resonant-cavity effects, improved directionality in the radiation pattern and achieve an optical output of 1.7 mW and 2.6% external quantum efficiency at 20 mA.

Metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy

Metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy (MOVPE), also known as organometallic vapour-phase epitaxy (OMVPE) or metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), is a chemical vapour deposition method used to produce single- or polycrystalline thin films. It is a process for growing crystalline layers to create complex semiconductor multilayer structures. In contrast to molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE), the growth of crystals is by chemical reaction and not physical deposition.

Molecular-beam epitaxy

Molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) is an epitaxy method for thin-film deposition of single crystals. MBE is widely used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, including transistors, and it is considered one of the fundamental tools for the development of nanotechnologies. MBE is used to fabricate diodes and MOSFETs (MOS field-effect transistors) at microwave frequencies, and to manufacture the lasers used to read optical discs (such as CDs and DVDs). Original ideas of MBE process were first established by K.

Epitaxy

Epitaxy (prefix epi- means "on top of”) refers to a type of crystal growth or material deposition in which new crystalline layers are formed with one or more well-defined orientations with respect to the crystalline seed layer. The deposited crystalline film is called an epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The relative orientation(s) of the epitaxial layer to the seed layer is defined in terms of the orientation of the crystal lattice of each material.
