Abstract
The present invention discloses a semiconductor, includes one or more luminescent layers; and one or more electron gas layers with two-dimensional electron gases that are distributed parallel to the luminescent layers.
Claims8
A semiconductor device, comprising:
- a substrate comprised of SiC;
- a first contact layer arranged parallel to the substrate;
- a p electrode on the first contact layer;
- a second contact layer arranged parallel between the substrate and the first contact layer;
- an n electrode on the second contact layer;
- one or more luminescent layers arranged parallel between the first contact layer and the second contact layer;
- one or more electron gas layers with two-dimensional electron gases that are distributed parallel to the luminescent layers;
- and
- a buffer layer comprised of AlGaN with a molar ratio of AlN in the buffer layer of at least 25%, with the buffer layer coupled to the substrate;
- the one or more electron gas layers are comprised of GaN adjacent the AlGaN buffer layer;
- one of the one or more electron gas layers is coupled to the AlGaN buffer layer to accumulate the two-dimensional electron gas within an interface to the AlGaN buffer layer, with the one or more two-dimensional electron gas layers effectively having no intermixed impurities, enabling the two dimensional electron gases to have extremely high mobility without being scattered by impurities.
