Efficient stress-relaxation in InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes using carbon nanotubes.

چکیده
A facile method to facilitate epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) of gallium nitride (GaN) was developed by using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). High-quality GaN was achieved on sapphire by simply coating the SWCNTs as an intermediate layer for stress and defect mitigation. SWCNTs maintained their integrity at high reaction temperature and led to suppression of edge dislocations and biaxial stress relaxation by up to 0.32 GPa in a GaN template layer. InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on this high-quality GaN template offered enhanced internal quantum efficiency and light output power with reduced efficiency droop. The method developed here has high potential to replace current ELO methods such as patterned sapphire substrates or buffer layers like SiO2 and SiNx.

We report on high-electrical-stress testing of Nichia GaN/InGaN/AlGaN single-quantum-well (SQW) light-emitting diodes. In contrast to our earlier experiments with double-heterostructure LEDs, the present SQW devices have been improved to the point that the encapsulating plastic fails under high electrical stress earlier than the diode itself.

InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been widely accepted as highly efficient light sources capable of replacing incandescent bulbs. However, applications of InGaN LEDs are limited to small devices because their fabrication process involves expensive epitaxial growth of InGaN by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on single-crystal wafers. If we can utilize a low-cost epitaxial growth pro...
