Popis: To realize high-performance UV-light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs), thick, crack-free and high-crystalline-quality AlGaN films with a low threading dislocation density and a device structure without any absorbing layer such as GaN are essential. Crack-free and low-dislocation-density AlGaN is developed using facet-controlled technology, and does not contain any GaN layer. As a result, the density of the threading dislocations in the overgrown AlGaN is as low as 5 x 10 7 cm -2 over the entire wafer.
