The degradation mechanism of GaN-based near-ultraviolet (NUV, 320-400 nm) light emitting diodes (LEDs) with low-indium content under electrical stress is studied from the aspect of defects. A decrease in the optical power and an increase in the leakage current are observed after electrical stress. The defect behaviors are characterized using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurement under different filling pulse widths. After stress, the concentration of defects with the energy level of 0.47-0.56 eV increases, accompanied by decrease in the concentration of 0.72-0.84 eV defects. Combing the defect energy level with the increased yellow luminescence in photoluminescence spectra, the device degradation can be attributed to the activation of the gallium vacancy and oxygen related complex defect along dislocation, which was previously passivated with hydrogen. This study reveals the evolution process of defects under electrical stress and their spatial location, laying a foundation for manufacture of GaN-based NUV LEDs with high reliability. 相似文献

In this work, we have analyzed the thermal properties of a GaN-based laser diode (LD) as functions of input powers, cooling conditions, and ambient temperatures. It was found that the thermal resistance has a slight change with input current under the forced cooling condition. In contrast to the forced cooling condition, significant change of thermal resistance was observed under the natural cooling condition. When the ambient temperature was increased from 0 to 50 °C, the measured thermal resistance was increased from 20 to 27.5 K/W. 相似文献

A violet laser diode (LD) structure is grown on a
free-standing c-plane GaN substrate and 4~μ m× 800~μ
m ridge waveguide LDs are fabricated. The electrical and the
optical characteristics of LDs under different facet-coating and
chip-mounting conditions are investigated under pulse mode
operation. The active region temperatures of p-side up and p-side
down mounted LDs are calculated with different injection currents.
The calculated thermal resistances of p-side up and p-side down
mounted LDs are 4.6~K/W and 3~K/W, respectively. The threshold
current of the p-side down mounted LD is much lower than that of the p-side
up mounted LD. The blue shift of the emission wavelength with increasing
injection current is observed only for the LD with p-side down mounting
configuration, due to the more efficient heat dissipation. 相似文献

We have investigated the factors affecting the current spreading length(CSL) in GaN-based light-emitting diodes(LEDs) by deriving theoretical expressions and performing simulations with APSYS.For mesa-structure LEDs,the effects of both indium tin oxide(ITO) and n-GaN are taken into account for the first time,and a new Q factor is introduced to explain the effects of different current flow paths on the CSL.The calculations and simulations show that the CSL can be enhanced by increasing the thickness of the ITO layer and resistivity of the n-GaN layer,or by reducing the resistivity of the ITO layer and thickness of the n-GaN layer.The results provide theoretical support for calculating the CSL clearly and directly.For vertical-structure LEDs,the effects of resistivity and thickness of the CSL on the internal quantum efficiency(IQE) have been analyzed.The theoretical expression relating current density and the parameters(resistivity and thickness)of the CSL is obtained,and the results are then verified by simulation.The IQE under different current injection conditions is discussed.The effects of CSL resistivity play a key role at high current injection,and there is an optimal thickness for the largest IQE only at a low current injection. 相似文献

It is predicted theoretically that broadening the optical confinement layer in monolithic mode-locked semiconductor lasers
may suppress Q-switching instability, by increasing the carrier transport time, and lead to emission of shorter, more stable

GaN-based blue light emitting diodes(LEDs) have undergone great development in recent years,but the improvement of green LEDs is still in progress.Currently,the external quantum efficiency(EQE) of GaN-based green LEDs is typically30%,which is much lower than that of top-level blue LEDs.The current challenge with regard to GaN-based green LEDs is to grow a high quality In GaN quantum well(QW) with low strain.Many techniques of improving efficiency are discussed,such as inserting Al GaN between the QW and the barrier,employing prestrained layers beneath the QW and growing semipolar QW.The recent progress of GaN-based green LEDs on Si substrate is also reported:high efficiency,high power green LEDs on Si substrate with 45.2% IQE at 35 A/cm2,and the relevant techniques are detailed. 相似文献

Performances of blue and green laser diodes(LDs) with different u-InGaN upper waveguides(UWGs) are investigated theoretically by using LASTIP. It is found that the slope efficiency(SE) of blue LD decreases due to great optical loss when the indium content of u-InGaN UWG is more than 0.02, although its leakage current decreases obviously. Meanwhile the SE of the green LD increases when the indium content of u-InGaN UWG is varied from 0 to 0.05, which is attributed to the reduction of leakage current and the small increase of optical loss. Therefore, a new blue LD structure with In_(0.05) Ga_(0.95)N lower waveguide(LWG) is designed to reduce the optical loss, and its slope efficiency is improved significantly. 相似文献

This work reports important aspects of technology development and characterization for GaN based diodes operating at high electric fields. The considered operation conditions result, in comparison to III–V semiconductor devices, from the higher values of threshold field for intervalley transfer of electrons. This lies above 150 kV/cm and requires correspondingly higher biasing voltages and currents through semiconducting layers of transferred electron devices, switches or NDR (negative differential resistance) diodes. Mesa-based vertical and lateral devices using GaN layers on sapphire substrate were considered for current–voltage characteristics under very high electric field conditions. A systematic investigation of MOCVD-grown diode structures with regular, tapered mesa designs and variable dimensions was carried out under pulsed-bias condition. The current–voltage characteristics showed threshold voltages for saturation corresponding to electric fields well above the critical value of 150 kV/cm in the active layer. Self-heating and electromigration effects have been addressed in relation with biasing and metallization conditions. 相似文献

In this Letter, blue phosphorescence organic light-emitting diodes(PHOLEDs) employ structures for electron and/or hole confinement; 1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimiazole-2-yl)benzene is used as a hole confinement layer and tris-(phenylpyrazole)iridium [IreppzT3] is utilized for an electron confinement layer(ECL). The electrical and optical properties of the fabricated blue PHOLEDs with various carrier-confinement structures are analyzed.Structures with a large energy offset between the carrier confinement and emitting layers enhance the charge-carrier balance in the emitting region, resulting from the effective carrier confinement. The maximum external quantum efficiency of the blue PHOLEDs with the double-ECLs is 24.02% at 1500 cd∕m2and its luminous efficiency is 43.76 cd∕A, which is 70.47% improved compared to the device without a carrier-confinement layer. 相似文献

Uniform current spreading is crucial for the performance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It has been reported that the reliability and light distribution are affected by non-uniform current spreading. In this paper, the impact of different electrode patterns on the performance of LED chips is investigated. A hybrid modeling method is employed to analyze the electrical and thermal characteristics of LEDs with two different electrode mesa structures. Corresponding experiments are also carried out to validate the calculation results. It is found that increasing amount of p-electrodes in interdigitated electrode patterns is effective in improving the performance of LEDs. 相似文献

The efficiency droop behaviors of GaN-based green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are studied as a function of temperature from 300 K to 480 K. The overall quantum efficiency of the green LEDs is found to degrade as temperature increases, which is mainly caused by activation of new non-radiative recombination centers within the LED active layer. Meanwhile, the external quantum efficiency of the green LEDs starts to decrease at low injection current level (<1 A/cm2 ) with a temperature-insensitive peak-efficiency-current. In contrast, the peak-efficiency-current of a control GaN-based blue LED shows continuous up-shift at higher temperatures. Around the onset point of efficiency droop, the electroluminescence spectra of the green LEDs also exhibit a monotonic blue-shift of peak energy and a reduction of full width at half maximum as injection current increases. Carrier delocalization is believed to play an important role in causing the efficiency droop in GaN-based green LEDs. 相似文献

A new method for patterned sapphire substrate(PSS) design is developed and proven to be reliable and cost-effective.As progress is made with LEDs' luminous efficiency,the pattern units of PSS become more complicated,and the effect of complicated geometrical features is almost impossible to study systematically by experiments only.By employing our new method,the influence of pattern parameters can be systematically studied,and various novel patterns are designed and optimized within a reasonable time span,with great improvement in LEDs' light extraction efficiency(LEE).Clearly,PSS pattern design with such a method deserves particular attention.We foresee that GaN-based LEDs on these newly designed PSSs will achieve more progress in the coming years. 相似文献

<正>In order to investigate their electrical characteristics,high-voltage light-emitting-diodes(HV-LEDs) each containing four cells in series are fabricated.The electrical parameters including varying voltage and parasitic effect are studied. It is shown that the ideality factors(IFs) of the HV-LEDs with different numbers of cells are 1.6,3.4,4.7,and 6.4.IF increases linearly with the number of cells increasing.Moreover,the performance of the HV-LED with failure cells is examined.The analysis indicates that the failure cell has a parallel resistance which induces the leakage of the failure cell.The series resistance of the failure cell is 76.8Ω,while that of the normal cell is 21.3Ω.The scanning electron microscope(SEM) image indicates that different metal layers do not contact well.It is hard to deposit the metal layers in the deep isolation trenches.The fabrication process of HV-LEDs needs to be optimized. 相似文献

The surface patterning of the indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent current layer has been investigated to improve the light extraction efficiency of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). LEDs with periodic micro-hexagon patterned ITO have been fabricated utilizing standard lithography techniques and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technology. The luminance intensity of the LED chips with patterned ITO following 160 s ICP etching was enhanced by about 50% compared to the LED chips with unpatterned ITO. Detailed processing parameters are provided. scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to examine the micro-structures. The results indicate that the surface-patterned ITO technique could have potential applications in high-power GaN-based LEDs. 相似文献
