초록

The authors investigated the InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well blue light emitting devices with the implementation of the photonic crystals fabricated at the top surface of p-GaN layer and the bottom interface of n-GaN layer. The top photonic crystals result in the lattice-dependent photoluminescence spectra at the wavelength of 450 nm and however, the bottom photonic crystal shows a big shift of the photoluminescence peak from 444 nm to 394 nm. The sample with the bottom photonic crystal structure also shows the lasing effect at the wavelength of 468 nm. Furthermore, the quality enhancement for the crystal growth of GaN thin film on the bottom photonic crystal comes from the modulated compressive stress which was measured by the micro-Raman spectroscopy.
