Nitride based devices including a symmetrical quantum well active layer having a central low bandgap delta-layer

Patent Tansu, Nelson; Zhao, Hongping; Liu, Guangyu; ...

A symmetrical quantum well active layer provides enhanced internal quantum efficiency. The quantum well active layer includes an inner (central) layer and a pair of outer layers sandwiching the inner layer. The inner and outer layers have different thicknesses and bandgap characteristics. The outer layers are relatively thick and include a relatively low bandgap material, such as InGaN. The inner layer has a relatively lower bandgap material and is sufficiently thin to act as a quantum well delta layer, e.g., comprising approximately 6 .ANG. or less of InN. Such a quantum well structure advantageously extends the emission wavelength into themore » « less

Resonant tunneling device with two-dimensional quantum well emitter and base layers

Patent Simmons, Jerry A [Sandia Park, NM]; Sherwin, Marc E [Rockville, MD]; Drummond, Timothy J [Tijeras, NM]; ...

A double electron layer tunneling device is presented. Electrons tunnel from a two dimensional emitter layer to a two dimensional tunneling layer and continue traveling to a collector at a lower voltage. The emitter layer is interrupted by an isolation etch, a depletion gate, or an ion implant to prevent electrons from traveling from the source along the emitter to the drain. The collector is similarly interrupted by a backgate, an isolation etch, or an ion implant. When the device is used as a transistor, a control gate is added to control the allowed energy states of the emitter layer.more » « less

Nitride based quantum well light-emitting devices having improved current injection efficiency

Patent Tansu, Nelson; Zhao, Hongping; Liu, Guangyu; ...

A III-nitride based device provides improved current injection efficiency by reducing thermionic carrier escape at high current density. The device includes a quantum well active layer and a pair of multi-layer barrier layers arranged symmetrically about the active layer. Each multi-layer barrier layer includes an inner layer abutting the active layer; and an outer layer abutting the inner layer. The inner barrier layer has a bandgap greater than that of the outer barrier layer. Both the inner and the outer barrier layer have bandgaps greater than that of the active layer. InGaN may be employed in the active layer, AlInN,more » « less
