Abstract
Monolithic integration of high-performance AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) on sapphire substrates has been demonstrated by metal organic chemical vapor deposition selective growth technique. The integrated HEMT-LED exhibits a peak transconductance <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$(G_{m})$</tex> </formula> of 244 mS/mm, a maximum drain current <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$(I_{d})$</tex></formula> of 920 mA/mm, and an ON-resistance <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$(R_{\rm on})$</tex></formula> of 2.6 <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$\Omega{\cdot}{\rm mm}$</tex></formula> . The forward voltage <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$(V_{F})$</tex></formula> of the LED is 3.1 V under an injection current of 10 mA. The integrated LED emits modulated light power efficiently at a wavelength of 470 nm by a serially connected GaN HEMT, showing potential applications such as solid-state lighting, displays, and visible light communications.
