Indium segregation measured in InGaN quantum well layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The indium segregation in InGaN well layer is confirmed by a nondestructive combined method of experiment and numerical simulation, which is beyond the traditional method. The pre-deposited indium atoms before InGaN well layer growth are first carried out to prevent indium atoms exchange between the subsurface layer and the surface layer, which results from the indium segregation. The uniform spatial distribution of indium content is achieved in each InGaN well layer, as long as indium pre-deposition is sufficient. According to the consistency of the experiment and numerical simulation, the indium content increases from 16% along the growth direction and saturates at 19% in the upper interface, which cannot be determined precisely by the traditional method.

Effects of Asymmetric Quantum Wells on the Structural and Optical Properties of InGaN-Based Light-Emitting Diodes
A metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy-grown InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) with three graded-thickness wells (the first-grown well had the greatest width) near the n-GaN was used as the active layer of an LED. For LEDs with an asymmetric quantum well (AQW), high-resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic reveal that the modified MQWs with a reasonable crystalline qua...

Confocal microphotoluminescence of InGaN-based light-emitting diodes
Spatially resolved photoluminescence PL of InGaN/GaN/AlGaN-based quantum-well-structured light-emitting diodes LEDs with a yellow-green light 530 nm and an amber light 600 nm was measured by using confocal microscopy. Submicron-scale spatial inhomogeneities of both PL intensities and spectra were found in confocal micro-PL images. We also found clear correlations between PL intensities and peak...
متن کاملIndium incorporation and surface segregation during InGaN growth by molecular beam epitaxy: experiment and theory
InGaN alloys with (0001) or (000 ) polarities are grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning tunneling microscopy images, interpreted using first-principles theoretical calculations, show that there is strong indium surface segregation on InGaN for both (0001) and (000 ) polarities. Evidence for the existence and stability of a structure containing two adlayers of indium on the I...
متن کاملCORRIGENDUM: A novel wavelength-adjusting method in InGaN-based light-emitting diodes
The pursuit of high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) for green emission spectral regime is referred as "green gap" challenge. Now researchers place their hope on the InGaN-based materials to develop high-brightness green light-emitting diodes. However, IQE drops fast when emission wavelength of InGaN LED increases by changing growth temperature or well thickness. In this paper, a new wavelengt...
