Suppression of electron overflow and efficiency droop in N-polar GaN green light emitting diodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate direct correlation between efficiency droop and carrier overflow in InGaN/GaN green light emitting diodes (LEDs). Further, we demonstrate flat external quantum efficiency curve up to 400 A/cm in a plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy grown N-polar double quantum well LED without electron blocking layers. This is achieved by exploring the superior properties of reverse polarization field of N-face polarity, such as effective carrier injection and higher potential barriers against carrier overflow mechanism. The LEDs were found to operate with a low ( 2.3 V) turn-on voltage. VC 2012 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3694967]

We have investigated for the first time the impact of electron overflow on the performance of nanowire light-emitting diodes (LEDs) operating in the entire visible spectral range, wherein intrinsic white light emission is achieved from self-organized InGaN quantum dots embedded in defect-free GaN nanowires on a single chip. Through detailed temperature-dependent electroluminescence and simulati...

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...

A critical issue in GaN-based high power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is how to suppress the efficiency droop problem occurred at high current injection while improving overall quantum efficiency, especially in conventional c-plane InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW), without using complicated bandgap engineering or unconventional materials and structures. Although increasing thickness of each QW may d...
