발광다이오드는 많은 양의 갈륨과 인듐을 함유하고 있어, 폐발광다이오드로부터 이들 원소의 회수는 최근 많은 관심을 받은 연구 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 폐발광다이오드에 포함된 질화갈륨으로부터 갈륨과 인듐을 회수하고자 시도하였다. 전체 공정은 물성분석, 알칼리배소, 침출의 세 단계로 구성되었다. 화학성분 분석결과 폐발광다이오드의 경우, 70.32% 갈륨, 5.31% 규소, 2.27% 알루미늄 및 2.07% 인듐이 함유됨을 확인하였다. 두 번째 단계인 알칼리배소 공정은 탄산나트륨과 함께, 900℃하에서 3시간의 반응이 최적 조건인 것으로 확인되었고, 이 공정을 통해 질화갈륨이 질화산화물로 변화되었다. 마지막은 침출 단계로서, 산의 종류 및 농도, 고액비, 반응시간에 따른 변화를 조사하여, 최적조건을 확립하였다. 최적조건은 반응온도 25℃ 및 2.0 M의 염산 환경에서 30 ml/g의 고액비와 반응시간 32분으로 나타났으며, 그 때의 침출 효율은 갈륨 96.88%와 인듐 96.61%로 나타났다.

Growth behavior of InGaN/GaN self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) was investigated with respect to different growth parameters in low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Locally formed examples of three dimensional InGaN islands were confirmed from the surface observation image with increasing indium source ratio and growth time. The InGaN/GaN QDs were formed in Stranski-Krastanow (SK) growth mode by the continuous supply of metalorganic (MO) sources, whereas they were formed in the Volmer-Weber (V-W) growth mode by the periodic interruption of the MO sources. High density InGaN QDs with $1{\sim}2nm$ height and $40{\sim}50nm$ diameter were formed by the S-K growth mode. Dome shape InGaN dots with $200{\sim}400nm$ diameter were formed by the V-W growth mode. InN content in InGaN QDs was estimated to be reduced with the increase of growth temperature. A strong peak between 420-460 nm (2.96-2.70 eV) was observed for the InGaN QDs grown by S-K growth mode in photoluminescence spectrum together with the GaN buffer layer peak at 362.2 nm (3.41 eV).

We report the fabrication and electroluminescent characteristics of GaN/InxGa1-xN microdonut-shaped light-emitting diode (LED) microarrays as variable-color emitters. The diameter, width, height, and period of the GaN microdonuts were controlled by their growth parameters and the geometrical factors of the growth mask patterns. For the fabrication of microdonut LEDs, p-GaN/p-AlxGa1-xN/u-GaN/u-InxGa1-xN heteroepitaxial layers were coated on the entire surface of n-GaN microdonuts. The microdonut LED arrays showed strong light emission, which could be seen with the unaided eye under normal room illumination. Additionally, magnified optical images of microdonut LED arrays exhibited microdonut-shaped light emissions having spatially resolved blue and green colors. Their electroluminescence spectra had two dominant peaks at 460 and 560 nm. With increasing applied voltage, the intensity of the blue emission peak increased much faster than that of the green emission peak, indicating that the color of the LEDs is tunable. We also demonstrated that EL spectra of the devices could be controlled by changing the size of microdonut LEDs. What we want to emphasize here with the microdonut LEDs is that they have additional inner sidewall facets which did not exist for other typical three-dimensional structures including nanopyramids and nanorods, and that InxGa1-xN single quantum well formed on the inner sidewall facets had unique thickness and chemical composition, which generated additional EL color. The origin of the electroluminescence peaks was investigated by structural characterizations and chemical analyses.
