Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a native emission matrix, comprising the following steps: a) providing a base structure comprising a substrate, a layer of GaN, a layer of doped In(x)GaN and an epitaxial regrowth layer of nid In(x)GaN, b) structuring first and second mesas in the base structure, the first mesa comprising a part of the layer of GaN, the layer of doped In(x)GaN and the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN, the second mesa comprising a part of the layer of doped In(x)GaN and the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN, c) electrochemically porosifying the second mesa, d) producing stacks on the mesas to form LED structures emitting at various wavelengths.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A native emission matrix comprising: a base structure comprising successively a substrate, a layer of non-intentionally doped GaN, a layer of doped In(x)GaN with x from 0 to 8% and an epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN with x from 0 to 8%, a first mesa formed in the base structure, the first mesa comprising the layer of doped In(x)GaN, and a part of the thickness of the layer of non-intentionally doped GaN, the first mesa being covered by a first LED structure emitting at a first wavelength, a second mesa formed in the base structure, the second mesa comprising the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN and a part of the thickness of the layer of doped In(x)GaN that is porosified, the second mesa being covered by a second LED structure emitting at a second wavelength, wherein the layer of non-intentionally doped GaN and the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN have dopant concentrations preventing them from being porosified. 2. The matrix according to claim 1 , wherein it comprises a third mesa formed in the base structure and covered by a third LED structure, emitting at a third wavelength. 3. The matrix according to claim 2 , wherein the first LED structure emits in the blue, the second LED structure emits in the red and the third LED structure emits in the green, by means of which an RGB matrix is formed. 4. The matrix according to claim 2 , wherein the third mesa comprises a part of the non-intentionally doped GaN layer, the layer of doped In(x)GaN and the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN. 5. The matrix according to claim 2 , wherein the third mesa comprises a part of the layer of doped In(x)GaN and the epitaxial regrowth layer of not-intentionally doped In(x)GaN, and wherein the layer of doped In(x)GaN of the third mesa is porosified.
