  • Patent number: 11103960
    Abstract: This invention provides two variations of methods of separating a surface layer of the semiconductor crystal. In the second variation of the method, pulse laser emission is generated; a focused laser beam is directed onto the crystal in such a way that focus is placed in the layer separation plane perpendicular the axis of the beam, a laser beam is moved in such a way that focus is moved in the layer separation plane with forming the non-overlapping local regions with a disturbed topology of the crystal structure and with reduced interatomic bonds, wherein the local regions is distributed over the whole plane, an external action disturbing the reduced interatomic bonds is applied to the separable layer. The invention allows separating flat lateral surface layers from semiconductor crystals, and thin semiconductor washes from cylindrical semiconductor boules.

  • Patent number: 10828727
    Abstract: This invention provides two variations of methods of separating a surface layer of the semiconductor crystal. In the first variation of the method, a focused laser beam is directed onto the crystal in such a way that focus is placed in the layer separation plane perpendicular to the axis of the beam, the laser beam is moved with scanning the layer separation plane with focus in the direction from the open side surface of the crystal deep into the crystal with forming a continuous slit width of which is increased with every pass of the laser beam, the previous operation is performed up to separation of the surface layer.

  • Patent number: 9966296
    Abstract: The present invention proposes variations of the laser separation method allowing separating homoepitaxial films from the substrates made from the same crystalline material as the epitaxial film. This new method of laser separation is based on using the selective doping of the substrate and epitaxial film with fine donor and acceptor impurities. In selective doping, concentration of free carries in the epitaxial film and substrate may essentially differ and this can lead to strong difference between the light absorption factors in the infrared region near the residual beams region where free carriers and phonon-plasmon interaction of the optical phonons with free carriers make an essential contribution to infrared absorption of the optical phonons. With the appropriate selection of the doping levels and frequency of infrared laser radiation, it is possible to achieve that laser radiation is absorbed in general in the region of strong doping near the interface substrate-homoepitaxial film.

  • Patent number: 9948065
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a semiconductor light-emitting device having an axis of symmetry, the device including two or more laser diodes, each of the laser diodes has an axis of symmetry, wherein the laser diodes are arranged in series on the axis of symmetry of the light-emitting device in such a way that their axes of symmetry coincide, wherein faces of the laser diodes are connected so that they are in electric and mechanic contact and form a bar of the laser diodes, a directional pattern of radiation thereof has an axis of symmetry coinciding with the axis of symmetry of the light-emitting device. The proposed light-emitting device can be used in laser lamps of white light for exciting phosphors since it provides a high degree of flare of cylindrical surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8901600
    Abstract: The invention relates to light-emitting devices; in particular, to highly effective light-emitting diodes on the base of nitrides of III group elements of the periodic system. The light-emitting device includes a substrate, a buffer layer formed on the substrate, a first layer from n-type semiconductor formed on the buffer layer, a second layer from p-type semiconductor and an active layer arranged between the first and second layers. The first, second and active layers form interlacing of the layers with zinc blend phase structure and layers with wurtzite phase structure forming heterophase boundaries therebetween. Technical result of the invention is increasing the effectiveness (efficiency) of the light-emitting device at the expense of heterophase boundaries available in the light-emitting device which allow to eliminate formation of the potential wells for holes, to increase the uniformity of the hole distribution in the active layer and to ensure suppression of nonradiative Auger recombination.
