| 20120001213 | III-NITRIDE LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICES WITH REFLECTIVE ENGINEERED GROWTH TEMPLATES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - A light emitter includes a first mirror that is an epitaxially grown metal mirror, a second mirror, and an active region that is epitaxially grown such that the active region is positioned at or close to, at least, one antinode between the first mirror and the second mirror. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20110244609 | METHOD OF FORMING CURRENT-INJECTING/TUNNELING LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE - An apparatus and method for making same. Some embodiments include a light-emitting device having a light-emitting active region; a tunneling-barrier (TB) structure facing adjacent the active region; a TB grown-epitaxial-metal-mirror (TB-GEMM) structure facing adjacent the TB structure, wherein the TB-GEMM structure includes at least one metal is substantially lattice matched to the active region; and a conductivity-type III-nitride crystal structure adjacent facing the active region opposite the TB structure. In some embodiments, the active region includes an MQW structure. In some embodiments, the TB-GEMM includes an alloy composition such that metal current injectors have a Fermi energy potential substantially equal to the sub-band minimum energy potential of the MQW. Some embodiments further include a second mirror (optionally a GEMM) to form an optical cavity between the second mirror and the TB-GEMM structure. In some embodiments, at least one of the GEMM is deposited on, and lattice matched to, a substrate. | 10-06-2011 |
