  • Patent number: 9312440
    Abstract: An epitaxy structure of a light emitting element includes a gallium nitride substrate, an N-type gallium nitride layer, a quantum well unit, and a P-type gallium nitride layer. The gallium nitride substrate includes a gallium nitride buffer layer, a gallium nitride hexagonal prism, and a gallium nitride hexagonal pyramid. The gallium nitride hexagonal prism extends from the gallium nitride buffer layer along an axis. The gallium nitride hexagonal pyramid extends from the gallium nitride hexagonal prism along the axis and gradually expands to form a hexagonal frustum. The N-type gallium nitride layer is located on the gallium nitride hexagonal pyramid. The quantum well unit includes an indium gallium nitride layer located on the N-type gallium nitride layer and a gallium nitride layer located on the indium gallium nitride layer. The P-type gallium nitride layer is located on the gallium nitride layer.

  • Patent number: 9147808
    Abstract: An III-nitride quantum well structure includes a GaN base, an InGaN layer and an InGaN covering layer. The GaN base includes a GaN buffering layer, a GaN post extending from the GaN buffering layer, and a GaN pyramid gradually expanding from the GaN post to form a mounting surface. The InGaN layer includes first and second coupling faces. The first coupling face is coupled with the mounting surface. The GaN covering layer includes first and second coupling faces. The first coupling face of the GaN covering layer is coupled with the second coupling face of the InGaN layer.

  • Patent number: 8766237
    Abstract: A homo-material heterophased quantum well includes a first structural layer, a second structural layer and a third structural layer. The second structural layer is sandwiched between the first and third structural layers. The first structural layer, second structural layer and third structural layer are formed by growing atoms of a single material in a single growth direction. The energy gap of the second structural layer is smaller than that of the first and third structural layers.

  • Patent number: 8728235
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for three-dimensional GaN epitaxial structure comprises a disposing step, in which a substrate of LiAlO2 and a source metal of Ga are disposed inside an vacuum chamber. An exposing step is importing N ions in plasma state and generated by a nitrogen source into the chamber. A heating step is heating up the source metal to generate Ga vapor. A growing step is forming a three-dimensional GaN epitaxial structure with hexagonal micropyramid or hexagonal rod having a broadened disk-like surface on the substrate by reaction between the Ga vapor and the plasma state of N ions.
