Near ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with quaternary AlInGaN quantum barriers (QBs) are grown by atmospheric pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The indium mole fraction of AlInGaN QB could be enhanced as we increased the TMG flow rate. Both the wavelength shift in EL spectra and forward voltage at 20 mA current injection were reduced by using AlInGaN QB. Under 100 mA current injection, the LED output power with Al(0.089)In(0.035)Ga(0.876)N QB can be enhanced by 15.9%, compared to LED with GaN QB. It should be attributed to a reduction of lattice mismatch induced polarization mismatch in the active layer. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this work, the performance of blue InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with thin intermediate barriers at high injection current is investigated. From the experimental results, it is found that the performance of LEDs with intermediate 5-nm-thick barriers is improved about 15% at 200 mA, compared with the sample with unique 9-nm-thick barriers. A numerical study is executed to analyze the hole distributions in the quantum wells. From the simulated results, it is found that the hole injection efficiency can be improved at high injection current. Hence, the effective recombination of electron and hole is also enhanced at high injection current.

Using a GaN nanorod template in a hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) system can manufacture a freestanding GaN (FS-GaN) substrate with threading dislocation densities down to similar to 10(7) cm(-2). In this letter, we report InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on this FS-GaN substrate. The defect densities in the homoepitaxially grown LEDs were substantially reduced, leading to improved light emission efficiency. Compared with the LED grown on sapphire, we obtained a lower forward voltage, smaller diode ideality factor, and higher light-output power in the same structure grown on FS-GaN. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) of LEDs grown on FS-GaN were improved especially at high injection current, which brought the efficiency droop phenomenon greatly reduced at high current density.

The InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a roughened backside on the N-face surface of GaN substrate were fabricated through a chemical wet-etching process to increase light-extraction efficiency. The stable crystallographic etching planes were formed as the GaN {10 (11) over bar} planes. When the near-ultraviolet and blue LED were operated as a forward current of 20 mA, the output power of LEDs was improved from 13.2 and 19.9 mW to 25.6 and 24.0 mW, respectively. The different enhanced ratio is attributed to the different transmittance as a function of wavelength is caused from hexagonal pyramid on N-face GaN substrate after wet-etching process.

The letter reports a theoretical and experimental study on the device performance of near ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with quaternary AlInGaN quantum barrier (QB). The indium mole fraction of AlInGaN QB could be enhanced as we increased the trimethylgallium flow rate. It was found the AlInGaN/InGaN LEDs can reduce forward voltage and improve light output power, compared with conventional GaN QB. By using advanced device simulation, it should be attributed to a reduction in lattice mismatch induced polarization mismatch in the active layer, which results in the suppression of electron overflow.
