Patent number: 8748204Abstract: Isolation of III-nitride devices may be performed with a dopant selective etch that provides a smooth profile with little crystal damage in comparison to previously used isolation techniques. The dopant selective etch may be an electro-chemical or photo-electro-chemical etch. The desired isolation area may be identified by changing the conductivity type of the semiconductor material to be etched. The etch process can remove a conductive layer to isolate a device atop the conductive layer. The etch process can be self stopping, where the process automatically terminates when the selectively doped semiconductor material is removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2006Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: International Rectifier CorporationInventor: Paul Bridger

Publication number: 20140154828Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device wherein in the formation of a light-emitting layer by forming a well layer, a capping layer and a barrier layer, the well layer having superior flatness and crystallinity is formed while suppressing the occurrence of damage to the well layer. In formation of the light-emitting layer, pits are provided in the light-emitting layer so that a pit diameter D falls within a range of 120 nm to 250 nm. The light-emitting layer formation step comprises the steps of forming the barrier layer, forming the well layer, and forming the capping layer. The growth temperature of the barrier layer is higher by any temperature in a range of 65° C. to 135° C. than that of the well layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2013Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Misato Mukono, Ryo Nakamura
