Investigation on the corrosive effect of NH3 during InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well growth in light emitting diodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three series of samples with different NH3 flow rate are grown and the optical and structural properties are investigated. It is found that apart from a positive effect on keeping a high partial pressure of nitrogen to enhance indium incorporation, NH3 may also play a negative effect on indium incorporation during InGaN growth. Especially, when temperature is relatively high, the hydrogen generated from the dissociation of NH3 may suppress the chemical reaction which produces InN, leading to a reduced indium incorporation efficiency during the InGaN layer growth.

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...

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 effic...
