摘要: InGaN∕GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) blue and green-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were grown on sapphire substrates using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. High-resolution transmission microscopy shows that a much larger density of stacking faults exist in the quantum-well region LEDs than green LEDs. In LEDs, blueshift electroluminescence (EL) emission energy at driving currents is more prominent which explained by different strength quantum-confined Stark effect as result piezoelectric field intensity scales strain relaxation MQWs. The steady broadening EL linewidth higher side with increase current was observed both attributed to band filling effect.
