270/290/330 nm AlGaN-based Deep Ultraviolet Light-emitting Diodes with Different Al Content in Quantum Wells and Barriers
The optical and electrical properties of 270/290/330 nm AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different Al content in quantum wells and barriers were investigated systematically. Based on the experimental and numerical study
It is observed that the UV LEDs with longer wavelength and lower Al composition in AlGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) possess less dislocation density
higher light output power and internal quantum efficiency. The large ideality factors calculated from
I-V
curves and simulated energy band profiles indicate that the current in the deep UV LEDs with high Al content is dominated by tunneling mechanism
which is attribute to the resulting potential drop in the active region caused by large polarization field in AlGaN MQWs.
