Enhanced Performance of the Non-Polar Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes with Lattice-Matched Quaternary Quantum Barriers
Abstract:
The performance of non-polar AlGaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diode (LED) with completely lattice-matched AlInGaN quantum barriers along the [1-100] m-direction were firstly proposed and intensively studied. The simulation results indicated that the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of the non-polar AlGaN-based LED could be enhanced by 9.7% at an injection current of 350 mA with the introduction of AlInGaN barriers. Compared with the nonpolar AlGaN-based LED with conventional AlGaN quantum barriers, not only the Shockley–Read–Hall recombination rate for the nonpolar AlGaN-based LED with quaternary barriers was remarkably reduced, but also the radiative recombination rate was significantly improved. The enhanced performance for the nonpolar AlGaN-based LED with AlInGaN barriers could be interpreted as the result that the density of dislocations in active region was decreased due to the reduced in-plane strain in the AlGaN/AlInGaN MQWs.
