Embodiment Construction

[0023] It should be understood that the figures and descriptions of the methods for growing light emitting devices under ultraviolet irradiation have been simplified to illustrate elements relevant to a clear understanding, while many other elements found in typical device processes have been removed for the sake of clarity . Those of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that other elements and / or steps are desirable and / or required in implementing the present invention. However, because such elements and steps are well known in the art, and because they would not facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, discussion of such elements and steps is not provided herein.

[0024] In a conventional III-nitride light-emitting diode (LED), the n-type layer is first grown on the substrate, followed by the active layer (or light-emitting layer) and the p-type layer. As used herein, the term layer refers to at least one of the identified layers, for example, a p-typ...

Abstract

Methods are described herein for growing light emitting devices under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. One method includes growing an n-type Ill-nitride layer over a p-type Ill-nitride layer under UV irradiation. Another method includes growing a light emitting device structure on a growth substrate and growing a tunnel junction on the light emitting device structure, wherein certain layers are grown under UV irradiation. Another method includes forming an Ill-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer over the Ill-nitride p-type layer to form a tunnel junction light emitting diode. The surface of the Ill-nitride tunnel junction n-type layer is completed with irradiation during the initial period, and the remainder of the formation is completed without irradiation. The UV light has a photon energy higher than the bandgap energy of the Ill-nitride p-type layer. UV irradiation suppresses the formation of Mg-H complexes within the Ill-nitride p-type layer caused by hydrogen present in the deposition chamber.
