摘要: The effects of the heterostructure design on injection efficiency and external quantum ultraviolet (UV)-B light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been investigated. It was found that functionality AlxGa1−xN:Mg electron blocking layer is strongly influenced by its aluminum mole fraction x magnesium doping profile. By comparing LED electroluminescence, well photoluminescence, simulations heterostructure, we were able to differentiate contributions internal UV LEDs. For optimized using an Al0.7Ga0.3N:Mg with a Mg group III ratio 4% in gas phase leakage currents are suppressed without holes into multiple active region. Flip chip mounted chips processed achieving maximum output power 3.5 mW at 290 mA peak 0.54%...
