The full InGaN structure is used to achieve red light emitting diodes (LEDs). This LED structure is composed of a partly relaxed InGaN pseudo-substrate fabricated by Soitec, namely InGaNOS, a ndoped buffer layer formed by a set of In x Ga 1-x N/GaN superlattices, thin In y Ga 1-y N/In x Ga 1-x N multiple quantum wells, and a p doped In x Ga 1-x N area. p-doped InGaN layers are first studied to determine the optimal Mg concentration. In the case of an In content of 2%, an acceptor concentration of 1x10 19 /cm 3 was measured for a Mg concentration of 2x10 19 /cm 3 . Red electroluminescence was then demonstrated for two generations of LEDs, including chip sizes of 300x300 and 50x50 µm². The differences between these two LED generations are detailed. For both devices, red emission with a peak wavelength at 620 nm was observed for a pumping current density of 12 A/cm². Red light-emission is maintained over the entire tested current range. From the first to the second LED generation, the maximum external quantum efficiency, obtained in the range of 17 to 40 A/cm², was increased by almost one order of magnitude (factor 9) thanks to the different optimizations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
