Abstract

A device includes a semiconductor structure comprising a III-nitride light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region and a plurality of layer pairs disposed within one of the n-type region and the p-type region. Each layer pair includes an InGaN layer and pit-filling layer in direct contact with the InGaN layer. The pit-filling layer may fill in pits formed in the InGaN layer.
