  • Patent number: 8975639
    Abstract: A surface of a substrate consists of a plurality of neighboring stripes. Longer edges of the flat surfaces are parallel one to another and planes of these surfaces are disoriented relatively to the crystallographic plane of gallium nitride crystal defined by Miller-Bravais indices (0001), (11-22) or (11-20). The disorientation angle of each of the flat surfaces is between 0 and 3 degrees and is different for each pair of neighboring flat surfaces. The substrate according to the invention allows epitaxial growth of a layered AlInGaN structure by a MOCVD or MBE method which allow to obtain a non-absorbing mirrors laser diode emitting a light in the wavelength from 380 to 550 nm.

  • Publication number: 20130099246
    Abstract: A surface of the substrate consists in plurality of neighbouring stripe shaped flat surfaces of a width from 1 to 2000 ?m. Longer edges of the flat surfaces are parallel one to another and planes of these surfaces are disoriented relatively to the crystallographic plane of gallium nitride crystal defined by Miller-Bravais indices (0001), (11-22) or (11-20). Disorientation angle of each of the flat surfaces is between 0 and 3 degree and is different for each pair of neighbouring flat surfaces. Substrate according to the invention allows epitaxial growth of a layered AlInGaN structure by MOCVD or MBE method which permits for realization of a non-absorbing mirrors laser diode emitting a light of the wavelength from 380 to 550 nm and a laser diodes array which may emit simultaneously light of various wavelengths in the range of 380 to 550 nm.
