InGaN/GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be grown by using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to make eight, 3-inch diameter wafers with a thin, tapered reactor cell at atmospheric pressure. The reactor configuration was optimized for the purpose of improving the GaN growth rate and its in-plane distribution. The growth rate and the layer uniformity of GaN were improved when the reactor cell was narrowed down and tapered. The on-wafer deviation of the electroluminescence (EL) peak wavelength and power were 5 nm and within 4%, respectively, except at the edge. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of EL spectrum for an LED grown at atmospheric pressure was consistently smaller than that of one grown at reduced pressure over the entire wavelength range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
