Realization of relaxed InGaN templates for red microLEDs

III-Nitride based light-emitting diodes based on InGaN active layers formed on GaN, are fine for the blue and green emitting LEDs. However, the large lattice mis-match between red-emitting active layers and the GaN substrate still limits the efficiencies to very low values, typically <5%. We propose to use seeding techniques originally developed for nanowire growth, to seed the formation of ternary InGaN pyramids which later are converted to thin c-facet platelets of InGaN. I will in this presentation show that such relaxed, and dislocation-free, InGaN platelets with In-composition about 20%, have the potential as ideal templates for red-emitting microLEDs.
