Popis: A III-nitride red LED with an active region temperature of 835 °C on a Si substrate utilizing a strain-relaxed template (SRT) is demonstrated. The peak wavelength blueshifts from 670 nm at 1 A/cm2 to 636 nm at 150 A/cm2. The on-wafer external quantum efficiency was 0.021% at 7 A/cm2 with an emission wavelength of 655 nm. The LED grown on a Si substrate exhibited a 116 nm redshift when compared to a co-loaded LED grown on sapphire. This is attributed to the difference in strain state for the III-nitride layers grown on Si compared to sapphire, allowing for more indium to be incorporated in the LED grown on Si. This suggests efficient III-nitride red LEDs and µLEDs on Si with a SRT can be realized with further material, device structure, and processing optimizations.
