Effect of Quantum Barrier Structures on Photoelectric Properties of GaN-based Green LED on Si Substrates
Three different quantum barrier structures of GaN-based green LED were grown on Si(111) substrates
and then high power vertical structure LED chips were fabricated. The three kinds of quantum barrier structures were GaN

and the corresponding three chip samples were A

C. The electroluminescence properties of these three kinds of chips with the same expitaxial structure except the quantum barrier structure were investigated at different forward current densities and ambient temperatures. Although the influence on luminous power is very small with the change of the quantum barrier structures
the change of the spectral properties is significant. Under 13 K
the EL peak wavelength blue shifts when the driving current increases from 0.01 to 400 mA
it is B

the difference in EL peak wavelength blue shift is A

C. At the same forward current densities
when the temperature increases from 13 to 320 K
the EL peak wavelengths of the three kinds of chips are S-shaped at most current
but are different shapes under extreme current. Perhaps
it is due to the fact that the differences in localized states
stress
piezoelectric filed and energy among these three kinds of quantum barrier structures lead to the different EL properties.
