  • Patent number: 8221547
    Abstract: An initial substrate structure for forming a nitride semiconductor substrate is provided. The initial substrate structure includes a substrate, a patterned epitaxial layer, and a mask layer. The patterned epitaxial layer is located on the substrate and is formed by a plurality of pillars. The mask layer is located over the substrate and covers a part of the patterned epitaxial layer. The mask layer includes a plurality of sticks and there is a space between the sticks. The space exposes a portion of an upper surface of the patterned epitaxial layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120119220
    Abstract: A nitride semiconductor substrate includes an epitaxy substrate, a patterned nitride semiconductor pillar layer, a nitride semiconductor layer, and a mask layer is provided. The nitride semiconductor pillar layer includes a plurality of first patterned arranged hollow structures and a plurality of second patterned arranged hollow structures formed among the first patterned arranged hollow structures. The second patterned arranged hollow structures have nano dimensions. The nitride semiconductor pillar layer is formed on the epitaxy substrate, and the nitride semiconductor layer is formed on the nitride semiconductor pillar layer. The mask layer covers surfaces of the nitride semiconductor pillar layer and the epitaxy substrate.

  • Publication number: 20100090312
    Abstract: A nitride semiconductor substrate and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The nitride semiconductor substrate includes an epitaxy substrate, a nitride pillar layer, a nitride semiconductor layer, and a mask layer. The nitride pillar layer includes a plurality of first patterned arranged pillars and a plurality of second patterned arranged pillars. The nitride pillar layer is formed on the epitaxy substrate. A width of a cross-section of each of the second patterned arranged pillars is smaller than a width of a cross-section of each of the first patterned arranged pillars, and a distance among each of the second patterned arranged pillars is longer than a distance among each of the first patterned arranged pillars. Surfaces of the epitaxy substrate, the first patterned arranged pillars, and the second patterned arranged pillars are covered by the mask layer. The nitride semiconductor layer is formed on the nitride pillar layer.

  • Patent number: 7558301
    Abstract: A multiwavelength semiconductor laser array and a method of fabricating the same are provided. Laser resonators having stacked quantum dot active regions of different emission wavelengths are utilized together with a fabricating process to change the length of each laser resonator or that of an upper electrode layer to generate different laser oscillation conditions, such that each of the laser resonators generates a single-wavelength band laser in a specific quantum dot active region, thereby achieving a multiwavelength semiconductor laser array capable of generating multiple laser wavelengths.
