Dependence of Electroluminescence on Barriers Temperature in GaN Base Blue LED on Silicon Substrate
The growth of GaN-based blue LED with different barriers temperature in multiple quantum wells on silicon substrate by MOCVD method was reported. The dependence of luminescence on barriers temperature was obtained. The relationship between external quantum efficiency (EQE) and barriers temperature under different current density showed that EQE increases with barriers temperature during the temperature from 860 to 915 ℃
and then EQE decreases a lot after the temperature over 915 ℃. The results of XRD
SIMS and EL support each other very obviously
which means that the luminescence efficiency is contributed on the sharpness of well-barrier interface. Over top temperature of barriers will result in a worse sharpness of well-barrier interface owing to an undesirable atoms diffusion. Much lower temperature of barriers will also cause a worse sharpness of well-barrier due to the non-step flow growth of barriers. The optimization barriers temperature range is from 895 to 915℃ for epitaxy growth.
