Abstract
A device includes a substrate, and a plurality of structures supported by the substrate, each structure of the plurality of structures including a Group III-nitride base, first and second Group III-nitride charge carrier injection layers supported by the Group III-nitride base, and a quantum heterostructure disposed between the first and second charge carrier injection layers. The quantum hetero structure includes a pair of Group III-nitride barrier layers, and a Group III-nitride active layer disposed between the pair of Group III-nitride barrier layers. The Group III-nitride active layer has a thickness for quantum confinement of charge carriers. At least one of the pair of Group III-nitride barrier layers has a nitride surface adjacent to the Group III-nitride active layer.
