The selective growth of InCaN/AlGaN light emitting diodes was performed by mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). In order to grow the InGaN/AlGaN heterosturcture consecutively, a special designed multi-sliding boat was employed in our mixed-source HVPE system. Room temperature electroluminescence spectum of the SAG-InGaN/AlGaN LED shows an emission peak wavelength of 425 nm at injection current 20 mA. We suggest that the mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system is possible to be one of the growth methods of III-nitrides LEDs.

The selective area growth light emitting diode on GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system. The GaN substrate was grown using mixed-source HVPE system. Te-doped AlGaN/AlGaN/Mg-doped AlGaN/Mg-doped GaN multi-layers were grown on the GaN substrate. The appearance of epi-layers and the thickness of the DH was evaluated by SEM measurement. The DH metallization was performed by e-beam evaporator. n-type metal and p-type metal were evaporated Ti/Al and Ni/Au, respectively. At the I-V measurement, the turn-on voltage is 3 V and the differential resistance is 13 Ω. It was found that the SAG-LED grown on GaN substrate using mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system could be applied for developing high quality LEDs.

The a-plane GaN layer on r-plane $Al_2O_3$ substrate is grown by mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The GaN/InGaN heterostructure is performed by selective area growth (SAG) method. The heterostructure consists of a flown over mixed-sourec are used as gallium (or indium) and nitrogen sources. The gas flow rates of HCl and $NH_3$ are maintained at 10 sccm and 500 sccm, respectively. The temperatures of GaN source zone is $650^{\circ}C$. In case of InGaN, the temperature of source zone is $900^{\circ}C$. The grown temperatures of GaN and InGaN layer are $820^{\circ}C\;and\;850^{\circ}C$, respectively. The EL (electroluminescence) peak of GaN/InGaN heterostructure is at nearly 460 nm and the FWHM (full width at half maximum) is 0.67 eV. These results are demonstrated that the heterostructure of III-nitrides on r-plane sapphire can be successfully grown by mixed-source HVPE with multi-sliding boat system.

In this paper, a selective area growth (SAG) of a GaN/AlGaN double heterostructure (DH) has been performed on r-plane sapphire substrate by using the mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) with multi-sliding boat system. The SAG-GaN/AlGaN DH consists of GaN buffer layer, Te-doped AlGaN n-cladding layer, GaN active layer, Mg-doped AlGaN p-cladding layer, and Mg-doped GaN p-capping layer. The electroluminescence (EL) characteristics show an emission peak of wavelength, 439 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of approximately 0.64 eV at 20 mA. The I-V measurements show that the turn-on voltage of the SAG-GaN/AlGaN DH is 3.4 V at room temperature. We found that the mixed-source HVPE method with a multi-sliding boat system was one of promising growth methods for III-Nitride LEDs.

The AlGaN layer has direct wide bandgaps ranging from 3.4 to 6.2 eV. Nowadays, it is becoming more important to fabricate optical devices in an UV region for the many applications. The high quality AlGaN layer is necessary to establish the UV optical devices. However, the growth of AlGaN layer on GaN layer is difficult due to the lattice mismatch and difference thermal expansion coefficient between GaN layer and AlGaN layer. In this paper, we attempted to grow the LED structure on GaN template by mixed-source HVPE method with multi-sliding boat system. We tried to find the optical and lattice transition of active layer by control the Al content in mixed-source. For the growth of epi layer, the HCl and $NH_3$ gas were flowed over the mixed-source and the carrier gas was $N_2$. The temperature of source zone and growth zone was stabled at 900 and $1090^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the growth, we performed the x-ray diffraction (XRD) and electro luminescence (EL) measurement.

The AlGaN-based vertical light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on thick GaN epilayer were fabricated by a hydride vapor phase epitaxy with multi sliding boat system. The optical and electrical characteristics of AlGaN-based vertical LEDs were evaluated using a scanning electron microscopy, electroluminescence and I-V measurements. The AlGaN-based vertical LEDs structure has hexagonal symmetry, 500 ㎛ in diameter and above 67 ㎛ in growth thickness. At the room-temperature, the broaded strong peak and relatively high intensity peak were gradually measured at 405 nm with increasing injection current. And a forward operator voltage was measured to be about 7.5 V.

In this paper, GaAs/AlGaAs multi-layer structure was grown by liquid phase epitaxy with graphite sliding boat, which can be used as a device structure of a photocathode image sensor. The multi-layer structure was grown on an n-type GaAs substrate in the sequence as follows: GaAs buffer layer, Zn-doped p-type AlGaAs layer as etching stop layer, Zn-doped p-type GaAs layer, and Zn-doped p-type AlGaAs layer. The Characteristics of GaAs/AlGaAs structures were analyzed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) and hall measurement. The SEM images shows that the p-AlGaAs/p-GaAs/p-AlGaAs multi-layer structure was grown with a mirror-like surface on a whole ($1.25mm{\times}25mm$) substrate. The Al composition in the AlGaAs layer was approximately 80 %. Also, it was confirmed that the free carrier concentration in the p-GaAs layer can be adjusted to the range of $8{\times}10^{18}/cm^2$ by hall measurement. In the result, it is expected that the p-AlGaAs/p-GaAs/p-AlGaAs multi-layer structure grown by the LPE can be used as a device structure of a photoelectric cathode image sensor.

In this paper, we report on the growth and optical characteristics of white-LED without fluorescent material. The growth of DH(double heterostructure) with AlGaN active layer was performed on a n-GaN/(0001) $Al_{2}O_{3}$ by the mixed-source HVPE and multi-sliding boat. The CRI(color rendering index) of packaging device charged in the range 72-93 with CIE chromaticity coordinates(x=$0.26{\sim}0.34$, y=$0.31{\sim}0.40$). And CCT(correlated color temperature) values was measured $5126{\sim}10406K$ with increasing injection current. The CIE point of conventional phosphor white LED shifts blue region, but cm point of non-phosphor white LED shifts opposite direction. These results show the mixed-source HVPE can be possible to newly fabricate method of phosphor free white LED with high CRI value.
