GeSn Nanobeam Light-Emitting Diode
20200098956 · 2020-03-26 ·

An LED structure is formed in a nanobeam on a semiconductor base and includes three nanobeam sections. A central section is the LED and it is formed by a bottom germanium doped layer, a middle germanium-tin layer and a top germanium layer that is doped oppositely from the bottom germanium layer. Left and right germanium nanobeam sections extend outwardly from the left and right ends of the central section. Metal contacts are formed on the top and bottom layers and an electrical circuit is connected to the metal contacts and provides an electrical signal that energizes the middle section and causes it to emit light, some of which is transmitted by the left and right nanobeams. Cylindrical holes are formed in the nanobeam and are sized and spaced apart to form a zero point-defect resonator. The diameters of the holes are reduced as they move further away from the central section in accordance with a Gaussian taper. The LED is configured and dimensioned to have a maximum modulation rate from about 1.6 GHz to about 0.4 GHz. The bottom layer is configured such that the metal contact on the bottom layer is spaced away from the middle layer to thereby reduce metal damping of the LED.

Embodiments relate to functional test methods useful for fabricating products containing Light Emitting Diode (LED) structures. In particular, LED arrays are functionally tested by injecting current via a displacement current coupling device using a field plate comprising of an electrode and insulator placed in close proximity to the LED array. A controlled voltage waveform is then applied to the field plate electrode to excite the LED devices in parallel for high-throughput. A camera records the individual light emission resulting from the electrical excitation to yield a function test of a plurality of LED devices. Changing the voltage conditions can excite the LEDs at differing current density levels to functionally measure external quantum efficiency and other important device functional parameters.
