Structure Optimization of Multiple Quantum Wells in Near Ultraviolet Light Emitting Diodes with 380 nm Wavelength

choose two different thickness ratio
6 nm/8 nm/6 nm and 7 nm/6 nm/7 nm. The simulation results show that LEDs with AlGaN barriers have better performance than GaN barrier LED. For AlGaN barrier LEDs
more carriers can be confined in active region
especially hole concentration
can improve one order of magnitude approximately. The radiative recombination rate can increase 2~10 times. Compared with single AlGaN barrier LED
in trilaminar AlGaN barrier LEDs the carriers concentration is more uniform. And the radiative recombination rate increases about 7 times
the internal quantum efficiency improves 14.5%. The different thickness ratio of trilaminar AlGaN barrier LED can fine adjust the inclination of energy band
then reduce the negative effects on carriers concentration and internal efficiency caused by polarization.
