6 Nitride Laser Diodes Laser diodes based on new group of semiconductors (gallium nitride) are able to emit the light in the UV and visible range. As for present, lasing was achieved by various groups and companies in the range from 370 up to 530 nm. 1. UV-LDs operating in the range from 370 up to 400 nm, 2. Violet LDs operating at the range of nm. Here the specially important wavelength is 405 nm, know from DVD standard BluRay, 3. Blue-violet range nm, 4. True blue range nm. This wavelength is usually the wavelength of choice for a blue component of laser projectors, 5. Blue green range nm. This region is interesting (between the others) replacement of argon ion lasers, 6. Green region nm. These devices play a crucial role in the laser diode displays (green component). Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki
17 Mismatch defects misfit disloactions misfit dislocation Misfit edge disloaction at the interface between sapphire and GaN Threading disloaction propagating from the interaface to the epilayer surface Net of misfit dislocations in InGaN layer plan view TEM Thessaloniki
18 Design of coherent epitaxial structures The critical thickness for introduction of misfit dislocations is relatively large for polar (0001) layers, since the introduction of dislocations on main easy glide planes is not active. Thessaloniki

28 V-pits opening of threading dislocations STEM [11-20] STEM [11-20] M. Shiojiri et al. JAP 99, (2006) Reasons for formation of V-pits - Low metal atoms mobility on the growing surface causing gathering of metal atoms at the defects like dislocations,which hinders the further growth along [0001] direction and exposes {1011} planes. M. Shiojiri et al. JAP 99, (2006) Strain relaxation - T.L. Song JAP however we also observe formation of V-pits in pure GaN. TD Thessaloniki
29 V-pits opening of threading dislocations Ax1221 Ax1019 Threading dislocation continous through the V-pit to the structure surface. The V-pit is overgrown during further growth at higher temperature. The formation of V-pits depends on the growth conditions. Thessaloniki
30 V-pits opening of threading dislocations How to eliminate V-pits: Growth with H2 hydrogen increases the mobility of atoms on the growing surface and prevents gatering of metal atoms on defect sides QB 730 o C + H 2 QB 730 o C no H 2 QB 730 o C H 2 QB 730 o C no H 2 Thessaloniki
31 V-pits opening of threading dislocations How to eliminate V-pits: Growth at higher temperature the higher temperature the higher mobility of atoms on the growing surface Thessaloniki

Quantum well-width fluctuations could be due to etching of QW during high temeprature growth of quantum barriers, they are also observed in teh growth of QB with hydrogen. Thessaloniki

38 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs Ax1019 Thessaloniki
39 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs Decoherent decomposition of InGaN 1.48nm Sławek Kret Thessaloniki
40 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs Li et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, (2013) Micro-PL images of (a) green LD-I sample Cross-section Z-contrast STEM of LD-I (a) non-degraded region and (b) degraded region. Uniform QWs can be observed in (a), but only broken QW layers as well as precipitates and voids are detected in (b). (c) A magnification of the precipitate and void region in (b). The long dashed arrows in (a) and (b) show the direction of [0001]. Thessaloniki
41 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs spinodal decomposition G.B. Stringfellow / Journal of Crystal Growth 312 (2010) For relaxed zincblende InGaN layers Thessaloniki
42 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs spinodal decomposition of strained layers For strained wurtzite InGaN layers C. TESSAREK et al.physi.rev. B 83, (2011) Spinodal (black) and binodal (gray) lines calculated for different strain states of the InGaN layer on a GaN substrate. A strain state of 100% corresponds to pseudomorphicmaterial grown on GaN, whereas 0% means completely relaxed material. With increasing strain in the InGaN layer, the critical temperature decreases and shifts toward higher x. Nevertheless, a miscibility gap exists for growth temperatures below 713 C. Thessaloniki
43 Thermal degradation of InGaN QWs Ah1019 We observe often that only one QW is destroyed Thessaloniki
44 Defects due to growth conditions-sf loops The slow atoms that cannot sample the surface bonding sites will bond on the sites where they first arrive. SFs can thus form as a result of growth accidents that result from them bonding to Type C sites, due to low surface mobility of atoms on (0001) growing surface. Since there is no shift on the (0002) planes casued by the formation of the first BSF, possibly the formation of the second BSF is needed to preserve the correct stacking of this area with the surrounding crystal.
