Abstract:
A light emitting diode structure of (Al,Ga,In)N thin films grown on a gallium nitride (GaN) semipolar substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) that exhibits reduced droop. The device structure includes a quantum well (QW) active region of two or more periods, n-type superlattice layers (n-SLs) located below the QW active region, and p-type superlattice layers (p-SLs) above the QW active region. The present invention also encompasses a method of fabricating such a device.
Abstract:
A III-nitride based LED with an External Quantum Efficiency (EQE) droop of less than 10% when a junction temperature of the LED is increased from 20 ° C. to at least 100 ° C. at a current density of the LED of at least 20 Amps per centimeter square.
