Raman and emission characteristics of a-plane InGaN/GaN blue-green light emitting diodes on r-sapphire substrates

We report the experimental determination of current spill-over in InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes by measuring the change in the forward current generated by a resonant excitation. To quantify accurately, the absorption of the laser as a function of the forward current was also determined. Two samples that have clearly different behavior of efficiency droop were compared to clarify the relationship between the current spill-over and the efficiency droop. We conclude that the carrier spill-over does occur and can be a significant cause for the efficiency droop but cannot single-handedly account for the efficiency droop.
