In some embodiments, a light emitting structure comprises a layered semiconductor stack comprising a first set of doped layers, a second layer, a light emitting layer positioned between the first set of doped layers and the second layer, and an electrical contact to the first set of doped layers. The first set of doped layers can comprise a first sub-layer, a second sub-layer, and a third sub-layer, wherein the third sub-layer is adjacent to the light emitting layer. The electrical contact can be coupled to the second sub-layer. The first, second and third sub-layers can be doped n-type, and an electrical conductivity of the second sub-layer can be higher than an electrical conductivity of the first and third sub-layers. The first, second and third sub-layers, the light emitting layer, and the second layer can each comprise a superlattice.

In some embodiments, a light emitting structure comprises a layered semiconductor stack comprising a first set of doped layers, a second layer, a light emitting layer positioned between the first set of doped layers and the second layer, and an electrical contact to the first set of doped layers. The first set of doped layers can comprise a first sub-layer, a second sub-layer, and a third sub-layer, where the third sub-layer is adjacent to the light emitting layer. The electrical contact to the first set of doped layers can be made to the second sub-layer. The first, second and third sub-layers can be doped n-type, and an electrical conductivity of the second sub-layer can be higher than an electrical conductivity of the first and third sub-layers. In some cases, the second sub-layer can absorb more light emitted from the light emitting layer than the first or third sub-layers.

A dislocation filter for a semiconductor device has a buffer layer comprising a short-period superlattice (SPSL) layer. The SPSL layer has first sub-layers of a first material that alternate with second sub-layers of a second material, the first material and the second material being group III-N binary materials that are different from each other. Each of the first sub-layers and each of the second sub-layers has a sub-layer thickness less than or equal to 12 monolayers. The buffer layer also includes a third layer of a third material, the third material being a group III-N material. The SPSL forms a sandwich structure with the third layer. The buffer layer bends dislocations away from a growth direction of the buffer layer.
