对上述样品A和样品B分析得到的PL(Photoluminescence,光致发光光谱)图、卫星峰图以及摇摆曲线分别如图2、3、和4所示。由PL图计算可知样品A的InGaN/GaN量子阱层中In组分与以上设计的量子阱层中的In组分相符,从卫星峰图可以看出,样品A相比于样品B具有更多阶的卫星峰,因此样品A具有更好的质量。从摇摆曲线图可以看出,无论是(002)面还是(102)面的摇摆曲线,相比于样品B,样品A都更窄,具有更小的半高宽,晶体质量更好。
尽管已描述了本发明的优选实施例,但本领域内的技术人员一旦得知了基本创造性概念,则可对这些实施例作出另外的变更和修改。所以,所附权利要求意欲解释为包括优选实施例以及落入本发明范围的所有变更和修改。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本发明进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本发明的精神和范围。这样,倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
