How GaAs Substrates Enable LED Fabrication

Gallium arsenide (GaAs) provides a lattice-matched platform for epitaxial growth of III–V layers used in light emitting diodes. Using MBE or MOCVD, the active region and cladding layers are deposited with tight control of composition and thickness. After growth, metallization and mesa patterning define devices with efficient radiative recombination.

Common Options

  • Wavelength targeting via alloy composition (e.g., AlGaInAs / AlGaAs)
  • n/p-type configurations and contact schemes
  • Substrate orientation and epi-ready polish
  • Backside metallization and thinning on request

FAQ

Can you source custom wavelengths?

Yes. Provide your target wavelength and process constraints; we will match the epitaxial stack where feasible.

What is the lead time?

Stock items can ship quickly; custom epi may require additional lead time depending on complexity.
