Item type:Item, Abnormal PL spectrum in InGaN MQW surface emitting cavity(2008-01-01) ;Chu, J. T. ;Cheng, Y. -J. ;Kuo, H. C. ;Lu, T. C.Wang, S. C.We report the observation of an abnormal photoluminescent (PL) spectrum from a HeCd laser pumped InGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) vertical cavity. The device is fabricated using standard MOCVD deposition on a (0001)-oriented sapphire substrate. The layer structures are: 10nm nucleation layer, a 4um bulk GaN layer, InGaN MQWs, and a final 200nm GaN cap layer. The InGaN MQWs consist of 10 pairs of 5 nm GaN barrier and 3 run In0.1Ga0.9N well. The peak emission of the as-grown MQWs sample was similar to 420nm. A dielectric distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) were then coated on the top layer, followed by a laser lift off from sapphire substrate, and subsequently another DBR coated on the bulk GaN bottom surface. The cavity has a quality factor of similar to 520 from 400-490nm. The device was pumped by a focused CW HeCd laser from the bulk GaN side. When the laser is focused onto the InGaN MQWs, a photoluminescent spectrum centered at the designed MOW wavelength was observed as expected. However, when the focused position was moved toward the bulk GaN region, an additional abnormal PL peak around 460nm was observed. This is far outside the designed MQW wavelength.Item type:Item, Optical coupling from InGaAs subcell to InGaP subcell in InGaP/InGaAs/Ge multi-junction solar cells(2013-01-14) ;Shu, G. W. ;Lin, J. Y. ;Jian, H. T. ;Shen, J. L.Wang, S. C.Spatially-resolved electroluminescence (EL) images in the triple junction InGaP/InGaAs/Ge solar cell have been investigated to demonstrate the subcell coupling effect. Upon irradiating the infrared light with an energy below bandgap of the active layer in the top subcell, but above that in the middle subcell, the EL of the top subcell quenches. By analysis of EL intensity as a function of irradiation level, it is found that the coupled p-n junction structure and the photovoltaic effect are responsible for the observed EL quenching. With optical coupling and photoswitching effects in the multi-junction diode, a concept of infrared image sensors is proposed. (C)2012 Optical Society of AmericaItem type:Item, Azimuthal anisotropy of light extraction from photonic crystal light-emitting diodes(2008) ;Lai, Chun-Feng ;Kuo, H. C. ;Chao, C. H. ;Hsueh, H. T.Wang, J. -F. T.Photonic crystal (PhC) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) exhibiting anisotropic light extraction have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is found that the anisotropic light extraction strongly depends on the lattice constant and orientation. Optical images of the anisotropy in the azimuthal direction are obtained using annular structure with triangular lattice. 6-fold symmetric light extraction patterns with varying number of petals are observed. More petals in multiple of 6 appear in the observed image with lattice constant increasing. This anisotropic behavior suggests a new means to optimize the PhC design of GaN LED for light extraction.Item type:Item, Characteristics of emission polarization in a-plane nanorods embedded with InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells(2010-09-15) ;Li, J. C. ;Lu, T. C. ;Huang, H. M. ;Chan, W. W.Kuo, H. C.Nonpolar (a-plane) GaN nanorod arrays with embedded In(x)Ga(1-x)N/GaN (x=0.09, 0.14, 0.24, and 0.30) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on r-plane sapphire have been fabricated successfully by self-assembled Ni nanomasks and subsequent inductively coupled plasma reactive-ion etching. After nanorod fabrications, the polarization ratio of the emission from MQWs with lower indium composition (x=0.09 and 0.14) slightly decreases but apparently increases by at most 79% for the samples with higher indium composition (x=0.24 and 0.30). Competition between the effect of multiple scattering, strain relaxation and reduction in localized centers, expected in a-plane MQW samples, are attributed to the variations in the polarization ratios after the nanorod formation.

T. ;Li, J. C.Lu, Y. S.InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with graded-thickness multiple quantum wells (GQW) was designed and grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The GQW structure, in which the well-thickness increases along [0001] direction, was found to have superior hole distribution as well as radiative recombination distribution by performing simulation modeling. Accordingly, the experimental investigation of electroluminescence spectrum reveals additional emission from the narrower wells within GQWs. Consequently, the efficiency droop can be alleviated to be about 16% from maximum at current density of 30 to 200 A/cm(2), which is much smaller than that for conventional LED (32%). Moreover, the light output power was enhanced from 18.0 to 24.3 mW at 20 A/cm(2). (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

C.A three-pair AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structure with superlattices (SLs) was grown on c-plane sapphire using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system. The AlGaN barrier and GaN well of the MQW structure were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) and conventional growth, respectively. The HRTEM and HRXRD results show the grown structure has shape interface between SLs layers and QWs with good periodicity. The AFM and SEM data show smooth surface morphology with low RMS value and low defect density. The CL measurements also indicate uniform luminescence pattern at room temperature. The AlGaN/GaN MQW with AlN/GaN SLs structure grown by ALD could be used to improve the surface morphology by effectively suppress the threading dislocation.Item type:Item, Abnormal PL spectrum in InGaN MQW surface emitting cavity - art. no. 69080L(2008) ;Chu, J.

P. ;Wang, C. H. ;Chiu, C. H. ;Li, J. C.Lu, Y. S.We have studied the characteristics of efficiency droop in GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) with different kinds of insertion layers (ILs) between the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) layer and n-GaN layer. By using low-temperature (LT) (780 degrees C) n-GaN as IL, the efficiency droop behavior can be alleviated from 54% in reference LED to 36% from the maximum value at low injection current to 200 mA, which is much smaller than that of 49% in LED with InGaN/GaN short-period superlattices layer. The polarization field in MQWs is found to be smallest in LED with InGaN/GaN SPS layer. However, the V-shape defect density, about 5.3 x 10(8) cm(-2), in its MQWs region is much higher than that value of 2.9 x 108 cm(-2) in LED with LT n-GaN layer, which will lead to higher defect-related tunneling leakage of carriers. Therefore, we can mainly assign this alleviation of efficiency droop to the reduction of dislocation density in MQWs region rather than the decrease of polarization field.

C. ;Lee, C. Y. ;Chang, S. P.Chang, W. T.A graded-composition electron blocking layer (GEBL) with aluminum composition increasing along the [0001] direction was designed for c-plane InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by employing the band-engineering. The simulation results demonstrated that such GEBL can effectively enhance the capability of hole transportation across the EBL as well as the electron confinement. Consequently, the LED with GEBL grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition exhibited lower forward voltage and series resistance and much higher output power at high current density as compared to conventional LED. Meanwhile, the efficiency droop was reduced from 34% in conventional LED to only 4% from the maximum value at low injection current to 200 A/cm(2). (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3531753]Item type:Item, Design and fabrication of a InGaN vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a composition-graded electron-blocking layer(2014-08-01) ;Lin, B. C. ;Chang, Y. A. ;Chen, K. J. ;Chiu, C. H.Li, Z. Y.In this study, the design and fabrication of a InGaN vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with a composition-graded electron blocking layer (GEBL) are revealed experimentally and theoretically. It has been demonstrated that laser output performance is improved by using a GEBL when compared to the typical VCSEL structure of a rectangular EBL. The output power obtained at 20 kA cm(-2) is enhanced by a factor of 3.8 by the successful reduction of threshold current density from 12.6 to 9.2 kA cm(-2) and the enlarged slope efficiency. Numerical simulation results also suggest that the improved laser output performances are due mainly to the reduction of electron leakage current and the enhanced hole injection efficiency in the multiple-quantum-well (MQW) active region.
