Abstract

See full text

A double heterostructure for a light emitting diode comprises a layer of aluminum gallium nitride having a first conductivity type; a layer of aluminum gallium nitride having the opposite conductivity type; and an active layer of gallium nitride between the aluminum gallium nitride layers, in which the gallium nitride layer is co-doped with both a Group II acceptor and a Group IV donor, with one of the dopants being present in an amount sufficient to give the gallium nitride layer a net conductivity type, so that the active layer forms a p-n junction with the adjacent layer of aluminum gallium nitride having the opposite conductivity type.
