- the growth of GaN nanowires on a GaN substrate is indeed easier on the nitrogen polarity side of the substrate than on its gallium polarity side.
- the growth of the nanowires 109 is, for example, made by MOVPE (metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy) in an atmosphere containing silane, for example at a temperature of about 1050.degree. ° C.

- FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C are sectional views illustrating steps of an alternative embodiment of the method of FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, making it possible to facilitate the control of the thickness of the N-type doped GaN layer; extending between the emitting layer 103b and the nanowires 109.
- This method comprises elements common with the method of FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C. In the following, only the differences between the two processes will be highlighted.
- FIG. 2A illustrates a step similar to the step described in relation to FIG. 1A, of formation, on the upper face of a growth substrate 101, of a stack 203 which differs from the stack 103 of FIG. 1A essentially in that, in the stack 203, the layer 103a of FIG. 1A is replaced by a stack 203a comprising, in order from the upper face of the substrate 101, a first N-type doped GaN layer 203a ] , an etch stop layer 203a2, and a second N-type doped GaN layer 203a3.
- the active GaN LED stack is formed by the layers 203a3 (cathode layer), 103b (FIG. emitting layer) and 103c (anode layer).
- the main function of the GaN layer 203a ] is to improve the mechanical strength and the quality of the epitaxy of the active stack.
- the layer 203a2 is made of a material different from the GaN, for example aluminum nitride (AlN), and has the particular function of serving as an etch stop layer in a subsequent step (FIG. the layer of GaN 203a !.
- FIG. 2B illustrates a step similar to the step described in relation with FIG. 1B, of transfer of the stack 203 on a support substrate 105, and then of withdrawal of the growth substrate 101.
- the GaN 203a ] _ and the etch stop layer 203a2 are further removed so as to discover the upper face of GaN layer 203a3-
- the removal of layer 203a ] _ is for example carried out by etching ICP-RIE (from English "Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactive Ion Etching" - inductively coupled ionic reactive plasma etching).
- the removal of the layer 203a2 can also be carried out by chlorinated ICP-RIE etching, with detection of gallium by mass spectroscopy to stop the etching on the upper face of the layer 203a3.
- FIG. 2C illustrates a step subsequent to the step of FIG. 2B, similar to the step described in relation with FIG. 1C, during which GaN nanowires 109 are grown on the upper face of the cathode layer.
- Figure 3 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the method of Figures 1A, 1B, 1C.
- This method comprises, for example, the same initial steps (FIGS. 1A and 1B) as in the example described with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, but differs from this example mainly in the shape of the GaN nanowires 109 made on the face the top of the cathode layer 103a of the LED.
- the nanowires 109 have a frustoconical shape of diameter increasing progressively as one moves away from the upper face of the layer 103a. The progressive widening of the nanowires makes it possible to release the radial confinement of the electromagnetic field, thus limiting the diffraction at the end of the wire.
- Such a frustoconical shape can for example be obtained by progressively reducing the epitaxial temperature as the nanowires grow, for example from a temperature of about 1050 ° C. at the beginning of epitaxy to a temperature of the order of 900 ° C at the end of epitaxy.
- the distance between neighboring nanowires at the base of nanowires may be chosen greater or of the same order as the diameter of the nanowires at the end of the nanowires opposite to the layer 103a, and typically greater than 1 3 times the diameter of the wire at the level of the upper face of the layer 103.
- the diameter of the nanowires 109 may be as follows: order of 130 nm at the base, and of the order of 1 ⁇ m at the opposite end to the layer 103a, with a distance between neighboring nanowires of the order of 1 ⁇ m.
- the nanowires 109 may optionally coalesce at their opposite end to the layer 103a, so as to form a substantially flat continuous surface at their end opposite the layer 103a.
- a transparent conductive layer for example made of ITO, or semitransparent, for example of metal, can be formed on and in contact with the upper surface of the nanowires, which advantageously makes it easier to take a contact electrical cathode and improve the homogeneity of the current injected into the LED.
- Figure 4 illustrates another alternative embodiment of the method of Figures 1A, 1B, 1C.
- This method comprises for example the same initial steps (FIGS. 1A and 1B) as in the example described with reference to FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, but differs from this example mainly in that, in the example of FIG. , the GaN nanowires 109 formed on the upper face of the cathode layer 103a are replaced by nanowires 409 zinc oxide (ZnO).
- the growth of zinc oxide nanowires 409 is carried out in a low temperature chemical bath, for example at a temperature of between 60 and 150 ° C.
- the growth of zinc oxide nanowires 409 is, for example, carried out by a process of the type described in the article entitled "Selective Area Growth of Well-Ordered ZnO Nanowire Arrays with Controllable Polarity" by Vincent Consonni et al. (ACS Nano, 2014, 8 (5), pp 4761-4770).
- An advantage of the embodiment of Figure 4 is not to require a step of high temperature epitaxy to form the nanowires on the upper face of the LED.
- the reflective structure 107 can then be formed by a single reflective metal layer, for example an indium-silver alloy. This makes it possible at the same time to obtain a good reflection coefficient of the photons, to take good quality electrical contact on the anode layer 103c, and to simplify the production of the structure 107 (with respect to the prediction of a mirror of Bragg).
- FIGS. 3 and 4 can be adapted to the method of FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C.
- the conductivity types of the gallium nitride layers 103a, 203a3 (N type in the examples described) and 103c (P type in the examples described) can be reversed, the anode and cathode regions of the LEDs are then also reversed.
- the described embodiments are not limited to the aforementioned examples in which the GaN LED active stack is made on a growth substrate 101, then transferred to a support substrate 105.
- the substrate starting point may be a self-supporting GaN substrate, for example doped N-type, on one side of which the active stack 103 is epitaxial.
- the active stack 103 is formed on the nitrogen polarity of the substrate .
- GaN nanowires can be formed directly on the face of the active stack opposite to the substrate, which is a face of nitrogen polarity.
- a reflective metal for example silver
- this metal may be deposited before the growth of the nanowires over the entire surface of the layer 103a, and then removed locally in the growth zones of the nanowires.
- the reflective metal may be deposited on the entire surface of the LED after the production of the nanowires 109, 409, for example by a conformal deposition method, then a directional etching step may be implemented to remove the metal on the upper surface of nanowires 109, 409.
- the nanowires 109 are GaN
- the layer 103b may be adapted to emit blue light
- quantum wells adapted to convert yellow light part of the blue light emitted by the LED may be formed around the nanowires 109, so as to get an LED emitting white light.
