A defect selective passivation method to block the propagation of threading dislocations in GaN epitaxial growth is demonstrated. The defect selective passivation is done by using defect selective chemical etching to locate defect sites, followed by silicon oxide passivation of the etched pits, and epitaxial over growth. The threading dislocation density in the regrown epilayer is significantly improved from 1x10(9) to 4x10(7) cm(-2). The defect passivated epiwafer is used to grow light emitting diode and the output power of the fabricated chip is enhanced by 45% at 20 mA compared to a reference one without using defect passivation.

An enhanced stimulated emission was observed in optically pumped GaN nanopillars. The nanopillars were fabricated from an epitaxial wafer by patterned pillar etching followed by crystalline regrowth. Under optical excitation, a strong redshifted stimulated emission peak emerged from a broad spontaneous emission background. The emission is attributed to the electron-hole plasma gain at high carrier density. The emission slope efficiency was greatly enhanced by 20 times compared with a GaN substrate under the same pumping condition. The enhancement is attributed to the better photon and gain interaction from the multiple scattering of photons among nanopillars. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3570634]
