Optical Defect in GaN-Based Laser Diodes Detected by Cathodoluminescence

GaN-based laser diodes （LDs） with 399 nm wavelength are grown on sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition （MOCVD）. Electroluminescence spectra of the fabricated LDs show that the LDs from some grown wafers failed to emit laser. The SEM and XRD results show the similar surface morphology and interface qualities of multi quantum wells （MQWs） and super-lattices between LDs that succeed and fail to emit laser. However, the cathodoluminescence （CL） measurements reveal a kind of optical defect rather than structural defect in un-emitted LDs. Further depth-dependent CL imaging observation indicates that such optical defects originate from the MQWs to the surface of LDs as a non-irradiative recombination centre that should cause the failure of laser emitting of LDs.     

垂直电极结构GaN基发光二极管的研制

利用激光剥离技术(LLO)和晶片键合技术将GaN基发光二极管(LED)薄膜与蓝宝石衬底分离并转移到Si衬底上,高分辨X射线衍射(HRXRD)和阴极荧光谱(CL)结果表明激光剥离过程没有影响GaN量子阱的结构和光学性质,GaN和InGaN/GaN多量子阱的发光峰都呈现红移,这都来源于去除蓝宝石后薄膜中应力的释放.采用金属In和Pd的合金化键合过程解决了GaN材料与Si衬底的结合问题,结合逐个芯片剥离和键合的方式实现了GaN大面积均匀转移.成功研制了激光剥离垂直电极结构的GaN基LED,L-I测试特性表明器件的热饱和电流和出光功率都有很大的提高.

Surface Light Extraction Mapping from Photonic Quasicrystal on Current Two-Dimensional Array of 12-Fold Injected GaN-Based LEDs

A two-dimensional array of dodecagonal photonic quasicrystal （12PQC） is fabricated on the surface of current injected GaN-based LEDs to out-couple guided modes. The spatially-resolved surface light extraction mapping of 12PQC is observed and compared with that of triangular lattice photonic crystal （3PC） by microscopic electrical luminescence and scanning near-field microscopy. The higher enhancement factor of 12PQC is obtained to be larger than that of 3PC. It is shown that 12PQC is more favourable and efficient for light extraction of guided lights.     

用微结构压印提高GaN基发光二极管的输出光强

为了进一步提高GaN基发光二极管(LED)的出光效率,针对倒装焊GaN基发光二极管提出了一个在蓝宝石衬底出光面上引入二维微纳米阵列结构的新构想.根据这一构想,将微结构图形化压印和发光器件的封装有机地结合起来,利用一种简易可行的纳米压印-热硬化性聚合物压印技术,成功地制备出了带有微米级阵列超薄封装结构的LED.结果表明,这种带有微结构阵列LED的输出光强得到了明显增强,1mm×1mm大管芯GaN LED在350mA的直流电注入下的光功率比无微结构的LED提高了60%.这一成功为提高发光二极管的出光强度提供了一个有效的新途径.
