Abstract:
P-AlGaN/P-GaN superlattices are investigated in blue InGaN light-emitting diodes as electron blocking layers. The simulation results show that efficiency droop is markedly improved due to two reasons: (i) enhanced hole concentration and hole carrier transport efficiency in AlGaN/GaN superlattices, and (ii) enhanced blocking of electron overflow between multiple quantum-wells and AlGaN/GaN superlattices.
