- *Abstract
-
Group III-Nitride compositions have been developed that are suitable for spin coating on large substrates. The compositions are novel colloidal dispersions of GaN prepared using methyl cellulose as a dispersant. Doping agents utilized with this invention include rare earth elements such as erbium (Er) and europium (Eu). The dispersant is easily removed by a calcination process in air. Substrates can be comprised of silicon, sapphire, or glass, and can be as large as 1.5 meters in diameter.These spin coated thin films have highly-oriented polycrystalline structure. Films doped with Er have been found to exhibit strong green light emission and resistance to temperatures as high as 1000° C. Because of their high temperature resistance, the films are compatible with CMOS technologies and can be used as on-chip light emitters.
