Description
そこで本発明は、結晶品質が良好な層により構成された半導体DBRを提供することを目的とする。
図1は、基板101の上に形成された本実施形態に係る半導体DBR110を示す。本実施形態に係る半導体DBRは、第1の多層構造としてのAlGaN/GaN多層構造103、位相調整層105、第2の多層構造としてのInGaN/GaN多層構造104、位相調整層105の順に繰り返し積層されている。本実施形態に係る半導体DBR110は反射率のピークとなる波長λがほぼ400nmとなるように設計されている。なお、本実施形態に係る半導体DBRは任意のピーク波長λに合わせて設計されることができる。
典型的にAlGaN層102a、GaN層102b、およびInGaN層102cの屈折率の関係は、“InGaN層102c>GaN層102b>AlGaN層102a”となる。
半導体はバンドギャップが大きいほど分解温度が高くなる傾向にある。例えば、窒化物半導体における分解温度の関係は“AlN>AlGaN>GaN>InGaN>InN”となる。
次に、半導体DBRにおける面内応力、臨界層厚、およびクラックの関係について説明する。

102b GaN層
102c InGaN層
103 AlGaN/GaN多層構造
104 InGaN/GaN多層構造
105 位相調整層
