Abstract: A III-nitride semiconductor light emitting device incorporating n-type III-nitride cladding layers, indium containing III-nitride light emitting region, and p-type III-nitride cladding layers. The light emitting region is sandwiched between n- and p-type III-nitride cladding layers and includes multiple sets of multi-quantum-wells (MQWs). The first MQW set formed on the n-type cladding layer comprises relatively lower indium concentration. The second MQW set comprising relatively moderate indium concentration. The third MQW set adjacent to the p-type cladding layer incorporating relatively highest indium concentration of the three MQW sets and is capable of emitting amber-to-red light. The first two MQW sets are utilized as pre-strain layers. Between the MQW sets, intermediate strain compensation layers (ISCLs) are added. The combination of the first two MQW sets and ISCLs prevent phase separation and enhance indium uptake in the third MQW set.

Abstract: A monolithic, multi-color semiconductor light emitting diode (LED) is formed with a multi-bandgap, multi-quantum well (MQW) active light emitting region which emits light at spaced-apart wavelength bands or regions ranging from UV to red. The MQW active light emitting region comprises a MQW layer stack including n quantum barriers which space apart n?1 quantum wells. Embodiments include those wherein the MQW layer stack includes quantum wells of at least two different bandgaps for emitting light of two different wavelengths, e.g., in the blue or green regions and in at least one other region, and the intensities of the emissions are adjusted to provide a preselected color of combined light emission, preferably white light.
