Abstract:
1. A structure comprising: a trench defined in a dielectric layer disposed over and in contact with a top surface of a substrate, the substrate comprising a first crystalline semiconductor material, the trench comprising a width w proximate the top surface of the substrate and comprising a first height h a second crystalline semiconductor material disposed in the trench and adjoining the first crystalline semiconductor material, the second crystalline semiconductor material being lattice-mismatched to the first crystalline semiconductor material, the second crystalline semiconductor material having a second height h a light-emitting device comprising a heteroepitaxial structure, the heteroepitaxial structure being disposed over and in contact with the top surface of the second crystalline semiconductor material, the heteroepitaxial structure being disposed at least partially in the trench, a surface of the heteroepitaxial structure between dissimilar materials being lower than the first height h
