Abstract(in English) GaN nanocolumns have excellent optical characteristics due to dislocation-free nature. GaN/AlGaN nanocolumn LEDs grown on n-(111) Si substrates by RF-MBE was fabricated for the first time. Clear diodes characteristics with 4.0 V of turn-on voltage and ultraviolet emission with peak-wavelength of 354nm was observed at room temperature. Although FWHM with macro-EL was 278meV, a smaller FWHM value of 119meV with micro-EL was observed. As the spatial non-uniformity in thickness and diameter of GaN MQDs may bring about the broad spectrum, the improved uniformity by nanocolumn regular-arrangement will make the narrower EL-FWHM. When Al composition of p-Al_xGa_<1-x>N was changed from 8.8 to 25.1%, the high Al content (x=25.1%) of p-AlGaN leads to narrow the FWHM as against low Al contents (x=8.8, 13.1%) due to suppress carrier overflow. The optimizations of the device sturucture, the electrode structures and the growth condition of p-type layer are needed to obtain high-performance LEDs.
