Abstract
We report the crystal growth and the characteristics of InGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) laser diodes grown on a 6H-SiC substrate using a low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (LP-MOVPE). We discuss the buffer layer, the control of InGaN and AlGaN alloy composition, the magnesium doping of GaN and AlGaN, and the characteristics of the MQW structure. We also demonstrate the room-temperature pulsed operation of the laser diode. The threshold voltage was reduced to 15 V by improving the p-contact resistance. The threshold current was reduced to 500 mA by changing the MQW structure and employing high reflection coating.Keywords
