Analysis of the Active Region of Overheating Temperature in Green LEDs Based on Group III Nitrides
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the first time, the overheating temperature ∆Tp–n of the active region in green light-emitting diodes based on Group III nitrides has been determined as a function of the forward current amplitude I. It has been shown that in contrast to light-emitting diodes, in which the current–voltage characteristics are adequately described by known theories of rectification in p–n junctions and ∆Tp–n ∝ I, in the structures under study, the dependence ∆Tp–n(I) in the current range of 2 × 10–3–3 × 10–2 A is quadratic in current. At higher currents, the variation of ∆Tp–n with I in the green light-emitting diodes based on Group III nitrides becomes linear, which is the same as in the light-emitting diodes based on known infrared and red III–V structures. © 2001 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.

COMMUNICATIONS Influence of defects on the electrical and optical characteristics of blue light-emitting diodes based on III–V nitrides
We have measured the electrical and optical properties of blue light-emitting diodes ~LEDs! based on III–V nitrides. The current–voltage characteristic is described by means of the relation I5I0 exp(aV). In this equation a is temperature independent, suggesting a process of conduction by tunneling, as was recently reported also for blue-green LEDs based on III–V nitrides @Appl. Phys. Lett. 68, ...
متن کاملCuprous halides semiconductors as a new means for highly efficient light-emitting diodes
In group-III nitrides in use for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), optical gain, measure of luminous efficiency, is very low owing to the built-in electrostatic fields, low exciton binding energy, and high-density misfit dislocations due to lattice-mismatched substrates. Cuprous halides I-VII semiconductors, on the other hand, have negligible built-in field, large exciton binding energies and...

A two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization. A two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. The i...

In organometallic vapor phase epitaxial growth of group III nitrides on sapphire, insertion of a low temperature interlayer is found to improve crystalline quality of AlxGa1-xN layer with x from 0 to 1. Here the effects of the low temperature deposited GaN or AlN interlayers on the structural quality of group III nitrides is discussed. INTRODUCTION From the late 60’s to the early 70’s Maruska a...
