Abstract: This invention provides a germanium electroluminescence device and a fabricating method of the same for using germanium of an indirect bandgap semiconductor without modifying a bandgap as a light-emitting layer which emits a 1550 nm-wavelength light and enabling to use not only as infrared LEDs itself but also as light sources for optical communication systems.

Abstract: A group III-nitride quaternary material system and method is disclosed for use in semiconductor structures, including laser diodes, transistors, and photodetectors, which reduces or eliminates phase separation and provides increased emission efficiency. In an exemplary embodiment the semiconductor structure includes a first InGaAlN layer of a first conduction type formed substantially without phase separation, an InGaAlN active layer substantially without phase separation, and a third InGaAlN layer of an opposite conduction type formed substantially without phase separation.
