摘要
AlGaN-based deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV-LEDs) were fabricated on AlN substrates. The AlN substrates were prepared by growing thick hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE)-AlN layers on bulk AlN substrates prepared by physical vapor transport (PVT). After growing an LED structure, the PVT-AlN substrates were removed by mechanical polishing. This process allowed the fabrication of DUV-LEDs on HVPE-AlN substrates with high crystalline quality and DUV optical transparency. The DUV-LEDs exhibited a single emission peaking at 268nm through the HVPE-AlN substrates. The output power as high as 28mW was obtained at an injection current of 250 mA.
