Morphology and Optical Properties of GaN Micro-pyramid Structure
The recently developed 3D GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) can solve problems associated with typical GaN-based thin film LEDs including the quantum-confined Stark effect
efficiency droop
and monochromatic wavelength. To resolve these issues
the micro-pyramids were synthesized and their luminescence properties were subsequently studied. First
GaN micro-pyramids with a base size of 8 m and height of 7.5 m were successfully fabricated after SiN
x
was deposited
in situ
by MOCVD
followed by three deposition periods of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on the semi-polar facet of the GaN micro-pyramids. The cathodoluminescence measurements showed that the wavelength of the emission peaks varied on the semi-polar facet of the GaN micro-pyramids. According to micro-photoluminescence measurements obtained using different excitation power densities
the polarization field on the semi-polar facets of the GaN micro-pyramids containing InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells was rather weak. The atomic migration mechanism was determined from the cathodoluminescence and transmission electron microscopy results. The GaN micro-pyramids can possibly be used for fabricating LEDs with multi-color emission due to their unique structures and optical properties.
