Recombination Rate Analysis of InGaN-Based Red-Emitting Light-Emitting Diodes
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics(2023)
摘要
The recombination rates are measured and analyzed for red-emitting InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to better understand the factors that limit their efficiency. InGaN/AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQWs) are grown with
$\text{x}\ge 0.28$
in the InxGa
$_{\mathrm {1-x}}\text{N}$
quantum well. The AlyGa
$_{\mathrm {1-y}}\text{N}$
interlayers (ILs) with high Al-content (
$\text{y}>$
0.8) are employed because they result in smoother surfaces with smaller V-pits and higher photoluminescence efficiency. The IL-MQWs are formed on GaN and InzGa
$_{\mathrm {1-z}}\text{N}$
/GaN superlattice (SL) underlayers (ULs) with
$z =0.015$
, 0.025, and 0.065. Differences in
$B$
coefficients (radiative recombination) within this set result from changes in wavefunction overlap caused by differences in layer thickness and composition in the IL-MQW. IL-MQWs grown on SL-ULs have
$A$
coefficients (Shockley-Reed-Hall recombination) that are lower than expected, indicating that the SL-ULs help reduce defect formation. Compared to shorter wavelength InGaN-based LEDs, the
$B$
coefficients are
$\sim $
100 times lower due to lower wavefunction overlap. A and
$C$
coefficients are higher because of a higher number of defects.
