| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated crystal growth and device application of nitride semiconductors on cleavable and hence reusable ScMgAlO4 substrates. After establishing the growth conditions for GaN and InGaN quantum wells (QWs), near-UV to green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were fabricated. The emission intensity was stronger than the conventional LEDs fabricated on sapphire substrates. Additionally, QWs based on InGaN with an In composition of 17%, which is lattice-matched to ScMgAlO4, were fabricated. These QWs emitted in the yellow-green to red spectral region. For the red-emitting QW, the emission intensity was 40 times stronger than a QW on sapphire. These achievements led us to a conclusion that the structures proposed in this study are promising for visible light-emitters.
