Performance of GaN-based Vertical Structure Light Emitting Diodes with Hybrid Quantum Wells
In order to solve the problem that GaN-based vertical structure LEDs (VS-LEDs) suffer from efficiency droop under high current injection level
hybrid quantum wells (HQWs) with coupled quantum wells (CQWs) and normal quantum wells (NQWs) were employed. Compared to VS-LEDs with NQWs
VS-LEDs with HQWs had better properties
wherein forward voltage reduced by 0.68 V and light-output power increased by 53.0% at a forward current of 350 mA. Meanwhile
the relative external quantum efficiencies of VS-LEDs with NQWs and VS-LEDs with HQWs reduced to 37.7% and 67.5% of their maximum
respectively. The results reveal that the efficiency droop of LEDs can become less severe by exploiting HQWs.
