Advantages of the Blue InGaN/GaN Light-Emitting Diodes with an AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN Quantum Well Structured Electron Blocking Layer

چکیده
InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with p-(AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN) quantum well structured electron blocking layer (QWEBL) are designed and grown by a metal− organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD) system. The proposed QWEBL LED structure, in which a p-GaN QW layer is inserted in the p-AlGaN electron blocking layer, not only leads to an improved hole injection but also reduces the electron leakage, thus enhancing the radiative recombination rates across the active region. Consequently, the light output power was enhanced by 10% for the QWEBL LED at a current density of 35 A/cm. The efficiency droop of the optimized device was reduced to 16%. This is much smaller than that of the conventional p-AlGaN electron blocking layer LED, which is 31%.

متن کاملImproving hole injection efficiency by manipulating the hole transport mechanism through p-type electron blocking layer engineering.
The p-type AlGaN electron blocking layer (EBL) is widely used in InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for electron overflow suppression. However, a typical EBL also reduces the hole injection efficiency, because holes have to climb over the energy barrier generated at the p-AlGaN/p-GaN interface before entering the quantum wells. In this work, to address this problem, we report the enhancemen...

Origin of InGaN light-emitting diode efficiency improvements using chirped AlGaN multi-quantum barriers
We analyze efficiency droop reductions in InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes caused by a chirped AlGaN/GaN multi-quantum barrier (MQB). Such electron barriers are expected to create an additional forbidden energy range above the natural conduction band edge, which reduces the electron leakage current. Advanced numerical device simulations reveal that energy band bending practically eliminates this...
