E-mail: osinsky@imd.org.ua, espuntia@ukr.net Abstract. A 3 B 5 solid-state solution LEDs are highly desirable for their potential
application in new emerging lighting technologies such as traffic signals, common
lighting, architecture, signboards and communication. We present a solid-state integrated
Si/A 3 B 5 device that consists of a single chip graded bandgap heterostructure with
quantum well active layers, electron and hole injectors connected with Si MOS
transistors integrated circuits. Active RGB layers are separated by tunnel barrier layers,
which can be driven by transistors of the Si IC part of the chip. Ion stimulation of
solubility of III-nitrides-arsenides and nano-template Al 2 O 3 epitaxy of GaN on Si
substrate are presented. Self-organised nanostructures with a low dislocation density are
obtained in this technology. Further optimization of epitaxy is likely to improve these
results by at least an order of magnitude, drop the density of defects and increase
luminescence quantum efficiency.
