Abstract

An optoelectronic device comprising, a substrate and a first transition stack formed on the substrate comprising a first transition layer formed on the substrate having a hollow component formed inside the first transition layer, a second transition layer formed on the first transition layer, and a reflector rod formed inside the second transition layer.

Claims (34)

1. An optoelectronic device comprising:

a first layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;

an upper hollow component being inside the first layer;

a lower hollow component being closer to the lower surface than the upper hollow component;

rods formed on the first layer; and

an active layer formed on the first layer.

2. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the rods comprise an oxide or a nitride.

3. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the rods expose the first layer.

4. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the rods cover 20%-60% area of the upper surface.

5. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the rods are reflective.

6. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the rods has a height of 30-300 nm.

7. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein at east one of the rods has a width of 0.1-10 μm.

8. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a second layer formed on the rods.

9. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the upper hollow component and the lower hollow component are formed in an array configuration.

10. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the upper hollow component and the lower hollow component are connected with each other.

11. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , wherein the width of the upper hollow component and the width of the lower hollow component are between 10 nm and 200 nm and/or the width of the upper hollow component and the width of the lower hollow component are different.

12. An optoelectronic device comprising:

a first layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;

an upper hollow component being inside the first layer;

a lower hollow component being closer to the lower surface than the upper hollow component;

a layer formed on the first layer and having hollow components; and

an active layer formed on the first layer.

13. The optoelectronic device of claim 12 , wherein the first layer and the layer have the same material.

14. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , further comprising an unintentionally doped layer or an undoped layer formed on the first layer.

15. The optoelectronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate formed on the lower surface.

16. An optoelectronic device comprising:

a first layer having an upper surface and a lower surface;

an upper hollow component being inside the first layer;

a lower hollow component being closer to the lower surface than the upper hollow component, wherein a refractive index of the upper hollow component or a refractive index of the lower hollow component is lower than that of the first layer; and

an active layer formed on the first layer.

17. The optoelectronic device of claim 16 , further comprising rods formed on the first layer.

18. The optoelectronic device of claim 16 , wherein the rods expose the first layer and/or the rods cover 20%-60% area of the upper surface.

19. The optoelectronic device of claim 16 , wherein the upper hollow component and the lower hollow component are connected with each other.

20. The optoelectronic device of claim 16 , wherein the width of the upper hollow component and the width of the lower hollow component are between 10 nm and 2000 nm and or the width of the upper hollow component and the width of the lower hollow component are different.
