Research Abstract |
The fabrication and evaluation of a UV light-emitting diode (LED) incorporating GaN quantum dots as the active layer is demonstrated. The GaN quantum dots were fabricated on an Al_xGa_<1-x>N (x〜0.1) surface using Si as an antisurfactant. Exposing the Al_xGa_<1-x>N surface to the Si antisurfactant prior to GaN growth enabled the formation of quantum dots on a surface where growth by the Stranski-Krastanov mode would not be possible. A fairly high density of dots (10^<10>-10^<11> cm^<-2> with controllable dot sizes was ichieved. Room temperature luminescence at 360 nm was clearly observed during current injection (cw) into an LED structure including the GaN quantum dots.
