III-Nitride Light Emitting Device Including Porous Semiconductor Layer

摘要

A semiconductor structure comprising a III-nitride light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region is grown over a porous III-nitride region. A III-nitride layer comprising InN is disposed between the light emitting layer and the porous III-nitride region. Since the III-nitride layer comprising InN is grown on the porous region, the III-nitride layer comprising InN may be at least partially relaxed, i.e. the III-nitride layer comprising InN may have an in-plane lattice constant larger than an in-plane lattice constant of a conventional GaN layer grown on sapphire.
