Nanotechnology, 34(43) 435201-435201, Aug 14, 2023 Peer-reviewedAbstract In this study, the growth behavior of Indium gallium nitride (InGaN)-based nanocolumn arrays was investigated, and red emission nanocolumn micro-light emitting diodes (μ-LEDs) were fabricated. The internal structure of the InGaN/GaN superlattice (SL) layer under the multiple-quantum-well (MQW) active layers was evaluated using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analysis. It was revealed that the InGaN crystal plane at the top of the nanocolumn changed from the c-plane, (1-102) plane, to the (10-11) plane as the number of SL pairs increased. A semipolar (10-11) plane was completely formed on top of the nanocolumn by growing InGaN/GaN SLs over 15–20 pairs, where the InGaN/GaN SL layers were uniformly piled up, maintaining the (10-11) plane. Therefore, when InGaN/AlGaN MQWs were grown on the (10-11) plane InGaN/GaN SL layer, the growth of the (10-11) plane semipolar InGaN active layers was observed in the high-angle annular dark field (HAADF)-STEM image. Moreover, the acute nanocolumn top of the (10-11) plane of the InGaN/GaN SL underlayer did not contribute to the formation of the c-plane InGaN core region. Red nanocolumn μ-LEDs with an φ12 μm emission window were fabricated using the (10-11) plane MQWs to obtain the external quantum efficiency of 1.01% at 51 A cm−2. The process of nanocolumn μ-LEDs suitable for the smaller emission windows was provided, where the flat p-GaN contact layer contributed to forming a fine emission window of φ5 μm.

Technical report of IEICE. LQE, 114(338) 117-120, Nov 27, 2014Nitride has an attractive feature of bandgap engineering from ultraviolet to infrared. However, a lot of defects in nitride inhibit the feature. In this study, we demonstrated nitride nanocolumn on Si wafer that is expected realization of large-scale/low-cost devices. Furthermore, nanocolumn structure is expected to suppress propagation of dislocation. We employed a sputter-deposited AlN nucleation layer, because it is so difficult to grow nitride crystal on Si wafer. We successfully fabricated a single crystalline GaN nanocolumns array even on the sputter-deposited film containing high-density dislocations. Single-peak PL emission in wide visible range from integrated InGaN/GaN MQW, and control of PL peak wavelength by pre-patterning were also demonstrated.

IEICE technical report, 108(351) 53-58, Dec 5, 2008MgZnCdSe, BeZnTe, and BeZnSeTe II-VI compound semiconductors grown on InP substrates are very attractive for middle visible range, especially green light emitting devices. We have developed these materials and emitting devices composed of BeZnSeTe active, MgSe/ZnCdSe superlattice (SL) n-cladding, and MgSeBeZnTe SL p-cladding layers. Long lifetime operations beyond 5000h were achieved for the devices, which shows a remarkable improvement of the aging characteristic of II-VI devices. We succeeded in photopumped green lasing at room temperature for the double heterostructures having a BeZnSeTe active layer to indicate a high potentiality of BeZnSeTe as an active layer of green laser diodes.

Technical report of IEICE. LQE, 103(527) 45-48, Dec 12, 2003Novel II-VI compound materials such as MgZnCdSe, BeZnTe, and their related superlattices (SLs) grown on InP substrates were proposed for wide-range visible optical devices such as laser diodes (LDs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs).Visible LEDs consisting of ZnCdSe/BeZnTe SL active, MgSe/BeZnTe SL p-cladding, and MgSe/ZnCdSe SL n-cladding layers were fabricated to obtain wide-range visible electro luminescence (EL) emissions from 554 (yellow-green) to 644 nm (red). For yellow (575nm) LEDs, a long lifetime more than 3500 hours was demonstrated to show high reliability of the LEDs. LDs with ZnCdSe active layers were fabricated. Yellow-green lasing operations around 560 nm were successfully achieved under pulsed current injection at 77 K, for the first time.

Technical report of IEICE. LQE, 96(399) 61-66, Dec 10, 1996The purpose of this study is the realization of optical modulator of II-VI MgZnCdSe compounds lattice-matching to InP substrate. In this study, quantum confined stark effect of ZnCdSe/MgZnCdSe multiple quantum well(MQW) grown on InP substrate by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) was investigated. The reflectance measurement for the MQW structure at room temperature showed the maximum variation of the reflectance at a wavelength near the lowest excitonic transition gap was -6.3% which corresponded to the refractive index venation of -3.4% under 1.87x10^5V/cm electric field apply. This value was larger than that of III-V materials. It is expected that the high performance optical modulator is realized due to the large excitonic effect on II-VI compounds. Fabry-Parot optical modulator which consisted of the spacer layer of the MQW between two multiple layer reflectors were also designed, and the extinction ratio and the insertion loss of the modulator were estimated. Furthermore MgZnCdSe multiple layer reflectors were grown an maximum reflectance of 98.0% was obtained at 596nm

Technical report of IEICE. OPE, 95(415) 49-54, Dec 14, 1995Mg_x(Zn_yCd_<1-y>)Se(x=0〜0.63) compounds and ZnCdSe/MgZnCdSe doublehetero-structures lattice-matching to InP substrates were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The bandgap energy of these layers from 2.17 to 3.12 eV at 15K were evaluated by photoluminescence (PL) measurement. Refractive indices of MgZnCdSe compounds were calculated from reflectance measurements. ZnCdSe/MgZnCdSe quantum-well structures were fabricated. Sharp PL spectrum without deep level emission at 15K and strong PL emission from ZnCdSe quantum-well layer at room temperature were observed. And then, ZnCdSe/MgZnCdSe multi-quantum-well structures were fabricated. Electro-luminescence emissions under pulsed operation at 77K were observed for the first time in MgZnCdSe systems.

Technical report of IEICE. OPE, 95(377) 67-72, Nov 21, 1995Self-organization of strained quantum-wires (QWRs) in (GaP)_m/(InP)_m short period binary superlattice (SPBS) was systematically investigated by changing monolayer number m and substrate misorientation. It was largely depended on substrate misorientation angle (SMA) toward [011] direction. Self-organization on QWRs occurred at m over 1.2 ML for SMA of 0° and even at 1ML for SMA of 5°. While for SMA of 15°, self-organization of QWRs was suppressed by small step width. GaInP/AlInP compressively strained multi-quantum-wire lasers with (GaP)_<1.5>/(InP)_<1.5> SPBS active region was fabricated and low threshold current density with 257 A/cm^2 was obtained under the room temperature pulsed condition.

Technical report of IEICE. LQE, 95(80) 19-24, May 26, 1995Self-organization of GaInP strained quantum-wires in the growth of (Gap)_2/(InP)_2 short period binary superlattice on (100)GaAs substrates is a very effective way to realize strained quantum-wire lasers. The conditions for self-organization of strained quantum-wires, however, were not studied sufficiently. Thus, the condition under which quantum-wires were self-organized in is period (GaP)_m/(InP)_m short period binary superlattices grown by gas source MBE was investigated with changing monolayer number systematically, occurring self-organization of quantum-wires for the monolayer number m over 1.2. Room temperature low threshold current densities (J_<th>) Operation of self-organized GaInP/AlInP strained quantum-wire lasers with J_<th> of 294A/cm^2 (under continuous wave operation) and 278A/cm^2 (under pulsed condition) were described.
