Study on internal quantum efficiency of blue InGaN multiple-quantum-well with an InGaN underneath layer

Abstract

Blue InGaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) samples with different In x Ga 1-x N (x=0.01-0.04) underneath layers (ULs) were grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Temperature dependent photoluminescence showed that the InGaN UL can improve the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of MQW effectively due to strain release. And a maximum IQE of 50% was obtained when the thickness and In content of the InGaN UL were 60 nm and 0.01, respectively. Furthermore, the larger In content or thickness of the InGaN UL makes the IQE lower. Arrhenius fit to the experiment data showed that the IQE fall was mainly caused by the quantity increase of the nonradiative recombination centers, which was believed related to the accumulated stress in InGaN ULs.

Study on carrier lifetimes in InGaN multi‐quantum well with different barriers by time‐resolved photoluminescence

“…In our previous work , it was reported that introducing a small account of indium into GaN barriers of the InGaN/GaN MQW can increase the radiative recombination efficiency dramatically. This was supposed to be related to enhancement of the degree of carrier localization and verified by cathodoluminecence (CL) mapping results .…”

A novel model on time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of polar InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well structures

“…All the samples discussed in this work are grown on c-plane patterned sapphire substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Sample A is a blue InGaN/GaN MQW structure and its growth details have been described elsewhere 23 24 . It consists of a 4-μm undoped GaN bulk layer, a 60-nm In 0.02 Ga 0.98 N underlying layer, and 5 pairs of In 0.2 Ga 0.8 N (2.5 nm)/GaN (22 nm) MQW.…”

InGaN蓝光LED内量子效率的评测

“…一般而言, LED 的光效随注入 电流密度先迅速增大到最大值(峰值效率往往是在 5-10 A/cm 2 时取得), 而后随着电流密度的进一步增 加而逐渐下降, 这一变化是由蓝光 LED 的内量子效 率变化引起的 [5] . 以最典型的 40 mil 芯片为例, 350 mA 工作时 LED 的电流密度约 35 A/cm 2 [6,7] .…”
