Fabrication and Luminescent Property of GaN Based Light-emitting Diodes with Array Nanorods Structure
In order to improve the emission efficiency of light-emitting diodes
reduce the quantum-confined Stark effect induced by stain
and increase the wave function overlap of electron and holes
InGaN/GaN based LEDs with array nanorods structure were fabricated by utilization of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and nano-fabrication processes. It demonstrates the uniform and bight emission
lower leakage current (~10
-7
)
optimized turn on voltage (~3 V). The uniform electroluminescence (EL) of InGaN/GaN MQW NR arrays has been successfully achieved as well
with a slight blue shift compared to that of the planar devices due to the lower quantum-confined Stark effect. It is confirmed that the defects and dislocations density is lower
strain accumulated in the film is released
quantum-confined Stark effect is reduced(relaxed degree~70%)
and the wave function overlap of electron and holes is increased and light extraction efficiency is improved.
