利用温变电容特性测量发光二极管结温的研究

结区的温度, 简称结温, 是发光二极管(LED) 的重要参数之一, 它对LED 器件的出光效率、光色、器件可靠性和寿命均有很大影响, 准确测量LED 器件的结温对制备LED 芯片、器件封装和应用有着重要的意义. 本文利用反向偏压下的LED的势垒电容随温度变化的特性, 提出了一种LED结温测量的新方法. 论文首先测量和分析了LED在室温下反向偏压时的电容-电压(C-V)曲线和不同反向偏压下的电容-温度(C-T)曲线, 结果表明, 在合适的偏压下, LED的电容随温度的增大而显著增加, 并呈现良好的线性关系. 在LED工作中监测其电容的变化, 并与C-T曲线进行对比, 实现了LED结温的测量, 其测量结果和传统的正向电压法的结果相对比, 两者符合较好. 最后, 利用上述方法测量了LED 在恒流和恒压条件下的结温的实时变化过程. 较传统的结温测量方法, 本方法的优点在于只须要一次定标测量, 且可实现LED在任意电压和电流下的结温测量.     

AlGaInP-Si glue bonded high performance light emitting diodes

We propose a new method of using conductive glue to agglutinate GaAs based AlGaInP light emitting diodes (LEDs) onto silicon substrate,and the absorbing GaAs layer is subsequently removed by grinding and selective wet etching.It was found that AlGaInP-Si glue agglutinated LEDs have larger saturation current and luminous intensity than the conventional LEDs working at the same injected current.The luminous intensity of the new device is as much as 1007.4 mcd at a saturation current of 125 mA without being encapsulated,while the conventional LEDs only have 266.2 mcd at a saturation current of 105 mA.The luminescence intensity is also found to increase by about 3.2% after working at 50 mA for 768 h.This means that the new structured LEDs have good reliability performance.

Forming the graded-refractive-index antireflection layers on light-emitting diodes to enhance the light extraction

Distributed antireflection (AR) layers with different composition ratios of ITO and SiO(2) formed on an ITO electrode of GaN-based LEDs provide substantial enhancement in light-extraction efficiency. By using the coradio frequency magnetron sputtering deposition, four 50 nm thick AR layers with graduated refractive indices were fabricated. The effect of the AR layers on enhancing the efficiency of the LED device was analyzed by electroluminescence (EL) and I-V measurements. As a result, the EL intensity of the LED device grown on the patterned sapphire substrate with AR layers was increased by up to 13% compared to the conventional patterned sapphire substrate-applied LED device without AR layers at a drive current of 20 mA. The AR layers on top of the LED device gradually changed the refractive indices between ITO (n=2.1) and air (n=1.0), which minimized the total internal reflection of generated light. And no degradation in the electrical characteristic of the LEDs was observed according to the I-V measurements.     

Influence of polar surface properties on InGaN/GaN core-shell nanorod LED properties

InGaN/GaN nanorod core-shell LEDs have shown to be very promising candidates for high efficiency lighting devices. Such nanorods can be grown in different ways, leading to different device geometry and in particular to different structures near the polar Ga- and N-face nanorod surfaces. In this work the influence of the properties of the polar surfaces on the electrical device behaviour is studied qualitatively based on a semiclassical simulation model.

Evaluation of current and temperature effects on optical performance of InGaAlP thin-film SMD LED mounted on different substrate packages

The relationship between the photometric, electric, and thermal parameters of light-emitting diodes(LEDs) is important for optimizing the LED illumination design. Indium gallium aluminium phosphide(InGaAlP)-based thin-film surface-mounted device(SMD) LEDs have attracted wide attention in research and development due to their portability and miniaturization. We report the optical characterization of InGaAlP thin-film SMD LED mounted on FR4, 2 W, and 5 W aluminum(Al) packages. The optical and thermal parameters of LED are determined at different injection currents and ambient temperatures by combining the T3ster(thermal transient tester) and TeraL ED(thermal and radiometric characterization of power LEDs) systems. Analysis shows that LED on a 5 W Al substrate package obtains the highest luminous and optical efficiency.

New collection systems for multi LED light engines

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have numerous advantages as light sources in projectors. LEDs are more compact, exhibit a larger color gamut, have a longer lifetime, and need a lower supply voltage. However, there is still one important disadvantage: the optical power per unit of étendue (luminance) of an LED is significantly low. As a result of the étendue limitations of LEDs, the projected flux on the screen will not be high. Despite this shortcoming, LED’s are still of great interest for low power applications because of their other superior properties. Thus we collect the available light flux optimally and combine multiple high luminance LEDs within the system. In this study we discuss three collection systems designed to collect the LED flux with high optical efficiency while retaining small device size. The best collection efficiency attained with our collection systems is 96%. The fabrication tolerance and cost of our collection systems are also analyzed.

Electrical and optical characteristics of GaN-based light-emitting diodes fabricated with emission wavelengths of 429-467 nm

The electrical and optical characteristics of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated with emission wavelengths of 429-467 nm were investigated. The optical output increased with increasing emission wavelength, which is attributed to the enhanced quantum confinement effect as a result of indium composition fluctuation. With higher indium content, the LEDs exhibited unfavorable performance, including a larger efficiency droop, spectral blueshift, and spectral broadening, due to indium-induced strains. The effect of heterointerfaces associated with the indium content of the active region on the device resistance was negligible.     

Simulation of exciton formation and transport in electrically driven polariton laser structures

A model for exciton formation, dissociation and transport is proposed for the simulation of an electrically pumped polariton laser with a geometry similar to that of a VCSEL and resonant cavity LEDs. We demonstrate how the strain effects and the geometry of the device influence the exciton distribution for a GaN/InGaN laser structure.     

Effect of the polymer emission on the electroluminescence characteristics of n-ZnO nanorods/p-polymer hybrid light emitting diode

Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) were fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50°C. Three different LEDs, with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods, were fabricated and studied. The current–voltage characteristics show good diode behavior with an ideality factor in the range of 2.1 to 2.27 for all three devices. The electroluminescence spectrum (EL) of the blended device has an emission range from 450 nm to 750 nm, due to the intermixing of the blue emission generated by poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) denoted as PFO with orange-red emission produced by poly(2-methoxy-5(20-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) 1,4-phenylenevinylene) symbolized as MEH PPV combined with the deep-band emission (DBE) of the ZnO nanorods, i.e. it covers the whole visible region and is manifested as white light. The CIE color coordinates showed bluish, orange-red and white emission from the PFO, MEH PPV and blended LEDs with ZnO nanorods, respectively. These results indicate that the choice of the polymer with proper concentration is critical to the emitted color in ZnO nanorods/p-organic polymer LEDs and careful design should be considered to obtain intrinsic white light sources.

分别在Si(110)和Si(111)衬底上制备了In Ga N/Ga N多量子阱结构蓝光发光二极管(LED)器件.利用高分辨X射线衍射、原子力显微镜、室温拉曼光谱和变温光致发光谱对生长的LED结构进行了结构表征.结果表明,相对于Si(111)上生长LED样品,Si(110)上生长的LED结构晶体质量较好,样品中存在较小的张应力,具有较高的内量子效率.对制备的LED芯片进行光电特性分析测试表明,两种衬底上制备的LED芯片等效串联电阻相差不大,在大电流注入下内量子效率下降较小;但是,相比于Si(111)上制备LED芯片,Si(110)上LED芯片具有较小的开启电压和更优异的发光特性.对LED器件电致发光(EL)发光峰随驱动电流的变化研究发现,由于Si(110)衬底上LED结构中阱层和垒层存在较小的应力/应变而在器件中产生较弱的量子限制斯塔克效应,致使Si(110)上LED芯片EL发光峰随驱动电流的蓝移量更小.     

Ultra-violet light-emitting diodes with quasi acceptor-free AlGaN polarization doping

The development and application of nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is handicapped by the low hole conductivity of Mg-doped layers. Mg-doping becomes increasingly difficult with higher Al-content of the p-AlGaN layers as required for ultra-violet (UV) light emission. Polarization-induced hole doping of graded AlGaN was recently demonstrated as an alternative doping method. Using advanced numerical device simulation, this paper investigates the impact of polarization-doping on the internal device physics of UV-LEDs and compares the conventional Ga-face growth to the novel N-face growth direction. Various LED design options are explored to maximize the internal quantum efficiency.
