Electron leakage effects on GaN-based light-emitting diodes

چکیده
Nitride-based light-emitting diodes suffer from a reduction (droop) of the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) with increasing injection current. Using advanced device simulation, we investigate the impact of electron leakage on the IQE droop for different properties of the electron blocker layer (EBL). The simulations show a strong influence of the EBL acceptor density on the droop. We also find that the electron leakage decreases with increasing temperature, which contradicts common assumptions.

Controlling electron overflow in phosphor-free InGaN/GaN nanowire white light-emitting diodes.
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...

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of creating specific defects in double-heterostructure InGaN/GaN commercial light-emitting diodes by neutron irradiation. Using controlled neutron energy, only one failure mechanism can be activated. Defects are located on the side of the chip and increase the leakage current driven by the well-known Poole–Frenkel effect with Ec − ET = 130 meV electron tr...
