摘要: The electrical and optical characteristics of InGaN quantum-well light-emitting diodes with large-bandgap AlGaInN thin barriers were analyzed the consideration carrier transport effect for efficiency droop suppression. lattice-matched quaternary alloys different compositions, thicknesses, positions employed as barrier layers (1-2 nm) surrounding QW in LED structures. increased effective heights led to suppression leakage compared conventional LEDs GaN only. current work provides a comprehensive simulation taking into self-consistent manner, finding indicated use or AlInN sufficient suppressing InGaN-based LEDs. insertion Al0.82In0.18N showed least phenomenon at high density among investigated thickness study that layer (<; 2 material region was
