Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for fabricating an epitaxial structure includes providing a substrate ( 102, 202, 302, 402 ) and a heterojunction stack on a first side the substrate, and forming a GaN light emitting diode stack ( 134 ) on a second side of the substrate. The heterojunction stack includes an undoped gallium nitride (GaN) layer and a doped aluminum gallium nitride (AIGaN) layer on the undoped GaN layer. The GaN light emitting diode stack ( 134 ) includes an n-type GaN layer ( 136 ) over the substrate, a GaN/indium gallium nitride (InGaN) multiple quantum well (MQW) structure ( 138 ) over the n-type GaN layer, a p-type AIGaN layer ( 140 ) over the n-type GaN/InGaN MQW structure, and a p-type GaN layer ( 142 ) over the p-type AIGaN layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for fabricating an epitaxial structure, comprising: providing a substrate and a heterojunction stack over a first side of the substrate, the heterojunction stack comprising an undoped gallium nitride (GaN) layer over the first side of the substrate and a doped aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) layer on the undoped GaN layer; forming a GaN light emitting diode stack over a second side of the substrate, the GaN light emitting diode stack compri…
