Gallium and nitrogen containing triangular or diamond-shaped configuration for optical devices
View Patent ↗A gallium and nitrogen containing optical device has a base region and no more than three major planar side regions configured in a triangular arrangement provided from the base region.
1. A gallium and nitrogen containing substrate comprising:
a thickness of material configured in a diamond shape consisting of no more than six surface regions;
wherein the six surface regions comprises four surface regions configured from respective first equivalent crystal planes; and
wherein the six surface regions excluding the four surface regions include two surface regions configured from second equivalent crystal planes.
2. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the diamond shape does not have a 90 degree intersection between any two surface regions out of the four surface regions.
3. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the first equivalent planes are either m-planes or a-planes.
4. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the second equivalent planes are c-planes.
5. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the four surface regions are configured from respective scribes provided within a vicinity of respective first equivalent planes.
6. The substrate of claim 1 wherein the first equivalent planes are configured on respective a-planes.
