Patents by Inventor Yong-Ho Ra

Yong-Ho Ra has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11909176
    Abstract: An all-epitaxial, electrically injected surface-emitting green laser operates in a range of about 520-560 nanometers (nm). At 523 nm, for example, the device exhibits a threshold current density of approximately 0.4 kilo-amperes per square centimeter (kA/cm2), which is over one order of magnitude lower than that of previously reported blue laser diodes.

  • Publication number: 20230395746
    Abstract: A nanowire can include a first semiconductor portion, a second portion including a quantum structure disposed on the first portion, and a second semiconductor portion disposed on the second portion opposite the first portion. The quantum structure can include one or more quantum core structures and a quantum core shell disposed about the one or more quantum core structures. The one or more quantum core structures can include one or more quantum disks, quantum arch-shaped forms, quantum wells, quantum dots within quantum wells or combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 11810996
    Abstract: InGaN/GaN quantum layer nanowire light emitting diodes are fabricated into a single cluster capable of exhibiting a wide spectral output range. The nanowires having InGaN/GaN quantum layers formed of quantum dots are tuned to different output wavelengths using different nanowire diameters, for example, to achieve a full spectral output range covering the entire visible spectrum for display applications. The entire cluster is formed using a monolithically integrated fabrication technique that employs a single-step selective area epitaxy growth.

  • Patent number: 10312082
    Abstract: Semiconductor light emitting diodes (LEDs) formed as (Al)GaN-based nanowire structures have a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, and a thin metallic layer fabricated therebetween. The structures, operating in the deep ultraviolet (UV) spectral range, exhibit high photoluminescence efficiency at room temperature. The structures may be formed of an epitaxial metal tunnel junction operating as a reflector that enhances carrier transport to and from the semiconductor alloy layers, capable of producing external quantum efficiencies at least one order of magnitude higher than convention devices.
