  • Publication number: 20120147915
    Abstract: The laser diode is based on Al In Ga N alloy and consists of: a bottom cladding layer of n-type conductivity, a bottom waveguide layer of n-type conductivity, a light emitting layer, an electron blocking layer of p-type conductivity, an upper waveguide layer of p-type conductivity, an upper cladding layer of p-type conductivity and a subcontact layer, doped with acceptors with concentration level above 1020 cm?3. The diode characterizes in that its bottom cladding layer (1) of n-type is made of GaOxN1-x alloy in which x>0.0005. A method of fabricated such laser diode in epitaxial growth of a layer structure consisting of at least a bottom cladding layer of n-type conductivity comprising at least one GaOxN1-x layer (1, 1a, 1c) in which x>0.0005, consisting in that the GaOxN1-x layer (1a, 1c) is fabricated using a high pressure method of nitride solution in gallium at pressure higher than 800 MPa.

  • Patent number: 7936798
    Abstract: The laser diode comprising crystalline substrate (1) where set of subsequent n-type layers, set of optically active layers (5) and set of p-type layers is deposited. The set of n-type layers comprise at least one buffer layer (2), bottom n-type cladding layer (3) and n-type bottom waveguide layer. The set of p-type layers comprise at least p-type upper waveguide, which comprises electron blocking layer, upper p-type cladding layer (7) and p-type contact layer (8). The electron blocking layer comprises Inx, AlyGa1-x-y, N alloy doped with magnesium where 1?x>0.001 a 1?y 0. The way of making this invention is based on the epitaxial deposition of subsequent set of the n-type layers (2, 3, 4), set of optically active layers (5) and set of p-type layers (6, 7, 8) where the p-type waveguide layer (6) and p-type contact layer (7) is deposited with presence of indium in plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy method.

  • Patent number: 5637531
    Abstract: A process for fabricating a multilayer crystalline structure of nitrides of metals from group III of periodic table including GaN, AlN and InN is provided. The process includes the steps of heating a group III metal (26) to a temperature T1 under an equilibrium nitrogen pressure while maintaining group III metal nitride stability to form a first crystal layer of the group III metal nitride. Thereafter the method includes the step of forming a second crystal layer (28) of the group III metal nitride by decreasing the nitrogen pressure such that the second crystal layer grows on the first layer with a growth rate slower than the growth rate of the first layer at a temperature T2 not greater than temperature T1. The second layer (28) grows on at least a portion of the first layer at a predetermined thickness under the new nitrogen pressure.
