Abstract
A low resistance light emitting device with an ultraviolet light-emitting structure having a first layer with a first conductivity, a second layer with a second conductivity; and a light emitting quantum well region between the first layer and second layer. A first electrical contact is in electrical connection with the first layer and a second electrical contact is in electrical connection with the second layer. A template serves as a platform for the light-emitting structure. The ultraviolet light-emitting structure has a first layer having a first portion and a second portion of AlXInYGa(1-X-Y)N with an amount of elemental indium, the first portion surface being treated with silicon and indium containing precursor sources, and a second layer. When an electrical potential is applied to the first layer and the second layer the device emits ultraviolet light.
