Progress in crystal growth of nitride semiconductors

摘要

Wide bandgap group III nitride semiconductors are currently experiencing the most exciting development. Within a very short period of some five years, high-brightness blue and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been commercialized, and ultra violet (UV) and blue laser diodes (LDs), high-frequency transistors (TRs) and UV detectors which will be able to operate at high temperatures, have been demonstrated.
