چکیده

We demonstrate that the efficiency droop phenomenon in multiple quantum well InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) may be connected to the current crowding effect. A numerical model of internal quantum efficiency calculation is presented that takes into account nonuniform lateral carrier injection in the active region. Based on this model, we examine the effect of current crowding on the efficiency droop using comparison of simulated internal quantum efficiency of InGaN LEDs with low and high uniformity of current spreading. The results of simulations and measurements show that the devices with low uniformity of current spreading exhibit higher efficiency droop and lower roll-off current value.

Efficiency droop behaviors of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diodes with varying quantum well thickness

InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well MQW light-emitting diodes with varied InGaN quantum well thicknesses are fabricated and characterized. The investigation of luminous efficiency versus current density reveals a variety of efficiency droop behaviors. It is found that the efficiency droop can be drastically reduced by increasing the quantum well thickness of the MQW structures. On the other hand, r...

Effect of Internal Electric Field in Well Layer of InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Well Light-Emitting Diodes on Efficiency Droop

We investigate the effect of internal electric field in InGaN well layer of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on efficiency droop behavior. The simulation results show that the internal electric field in InGaN well layers of Ga-polar LEDs is same as the direction of external electric field by forward bias voltage, resulting in a strong efficiency droop. However, N-pol...

Current injection efficiency and its impact on efficiency-droop in InGaN single quantum well (QW) based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are investigated. The analysis is based on current continuity relation for drift and diffusion carrier transport across the QW-barrier system. A self-consistent 6-band k p method is used to calculate the band structure for InGaN QW. The analysis indicates that the...
