Abstract
We report on the growth of InGaN films, and the fabrication and characterization of GaN homojunction LEDs and InGaN double heterostructure (DH) LEDs on HVPE GaN-on-sapphire substrates. The use of these substrates facilitates the III-nitrides growth process, as it avoids the use of complicated buffer layers. We have achieved InGaN films with strong and sharp band-to-band photoluminescence (PL) from 370 to 540 nm. Typical In0.09Ga0.91N/GaN DH films had double-crystal XRD FWHM approximately 300 arcsec, and 400 nm peak PL emission with FWHM approximately 100 meV. DH-LEDs were fabricated with InGaN layers with various compositions, and produced strong electroluminescence (EL) in the blue and blue/green regions.
