Semiconductor structure with chirp layer

Abstract

A semiconductor structure can comprise a plurality of first semiconductor layers comprising wide bandgap semiconductor layers, a narrow bandgap semiconductor layer, and a chirp layer between the plurality of first semiconductor layers and the narrow bandgap semiconductor layer. The plurality of first semiconductor layers can comprise a first short-period superlattice (SPSL). The chirp layer can comprise alternating layers of GaN layers and AlN layers. An average composition of Al/(Al+Ga) of the chirp layer changes throughout the chirp layer.
