  • Patent number: 10483103
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor material including a semi-polar III-nitride layer from a semi-polar starting substrate including a plurality of grooves periodically spaced apart, each groove including a first inclined flank of crystallographic orientation C (0001) and a second inclined flank of different crystallographic orientation, the method comprising the phases consisting in: forming (2) III-nitride crystals on the first inclined flanks of the grooves, the growth parameters of the III-nitride crystals being adapted to favor lateral growth of said crystals such as to induce overlapping between adjacent III-nitride crystals, and continuing growth until coalescence of the III-nitride crystals to form a layer of coalesced III-nitride crystals; forming (3) a two-dimensional III-nitride layer on the layer of coalesced III-nitride crystals.

  • Patent number: 9728673
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a light-emitting diode, characterized in that the method comprises a step of preparing a light-emitting layer (20) on a front face of a support (10), said emitting layer comprising at least two adjacent quantum wells (21, 22, 23) emitting at different wavelengths, said quantum wells (21, 22, 23) being in contact with the front face of the support. According to the invention, the step in which the light-emitting layer is deposited comprises a sub-step consisting in locally varying the temperature of a rear face of the support opposite the front face such that the front face of the support comprises at least two zones at different temperatures.

  • Publication number: 20160043272
    Abstract: A Light-emitting device comprises a monolithic matrix of III-nitride elements, the matrix comprising at least one first stack of quantum wells or of planes of quantum dots able to emit photons at at least one second wavelength by optical pumping by the photons emitted by the first stack, and a region separating the two stacks, and first and second electrodes arranged to allow an electrical current to pass through the stacks, the second stack is n-doped, the separating region comprises a tunnel junction having an n++-doped region arranged on the same side as the second stack and a p++-doped region arranged on the opposite side and the first stack is arranged between separating region and at least one n-doped layer. Method for manufacturing such device.
