Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on the hot-wall MOCVD growth of Mg-doped AlxGa1-xN layers with an Al content as high as x similar to 0.85. After subjecting the layers to post-growth in-situ annealing in nitrogen in the growth reactor, a room temperature resistivity of 7 k Omega cm was obtained indicating an enhanced p-type conductivity compared to published data for AlxGa1-xN layers with a lower Al content of x similar to 0.70 and a room temperature resistivity of about 10 k Omega cm. It is believed that the enhanced p-type conductivity is a result of reduced compensation by native defects through growth conditions enabled by the distinct hot-wall MOCVD system.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In order to improve the current injection in GaN-based blue vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) a dielectric aperture is generally used in combination with an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer on the top intracavity p-contact layer. The most straightforward way to realize this introduces a depression of the structure near the optical axis and we show, by using a 2D effective index method and a 3D coupled-cavity beam propagation method, that this typically results in optically anti-guided structures with associated high optical losses and thus very high threshold gains. Remarkably, the threshold gain reduces with increased negative guiding, which is due to improved lateral confinement and reduction of lateral leakage. Still, moderately positively guided designs should be preferred to avoid the detrimental effect of lateral leakage and high diffraction loss. To ensure positive index guiding, we propose to planarize the structure or introduce an elevation near the optical axis by additional processing, with an associated reduction in threshold material gain from 6000 cm-1 to 2000 cm-1 for the studied structures.
