Abstract: A white light source employing a III-nitride based laser diode pumping one or more phosphors. The III-nitride laser diode emits light in a first wavelength range that is down-converted to light in a second wavelength range by the phosphors, wherein the light in the first wavelength range is combined with the light in the second wavelength range to create highly directional white light. The light in the first wavelength range comprises ultraviolet, violet, blue and/or green light, while the light in the second wavelength range comprises green, yellow and/or red light.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of depositing a SiN film having a reduced wet etch rate. The methods may include adsorbing a film precursor comprising Si onto a semiconductor substrate in a processing chamber to form an adsorption-limited layer of precursor, and then removing unadsorbed precursor from the volume surrounding the adsorbed precursor. The adsorbed precursor may then be reacted by exposing it to a plasma comprising N-containing ions and/or radicals to form a SiN film layer on the substrate, and the SiN film layer may then be densified by exposing it to a He plasma. The foregoing steps may then be repeated to form another densified SiN film layer on the substrate. Also disclosed herein are apparatuses for depositing SiN films having reduced wet etch rates on semiconductor substrates which employ the foregoing techniques.

Abstract: The embodiments herein focus on plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) processes using pulsed plasmas. While conventional PEALD processes use continuous wave plasmas during the plasma exposure/conversion operation, the embodiments herein utilize a pulsed plasma during this operation to achieve a film with high quality sidewalls. Because conventional PEALD techniques result in films having high quality at the bottom and top of a feature, but low quality on the sidewalls, this increased sidewall quality in the disclosed methods corresponds to a film that is overall more uniform in quality compared to that achieved with conventional continuous wave plasma techniques.

Abstract: A semipolar {20-21} III-nitride based laser diode employing a cavity with one or more etched facet mirrors. The etched facet mirrors provide an ability to arbitrarily control the orientation and dimensions of the cavity or stripe of the laser diode, thereby enabling control of electrical and optical properties of the laser diode.
