Experimental results show that different growth temperatures of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells can affect the structure and performance of LEDs, reducing the growth temperature can alter the structure and enhance the luminous efficiency.
Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) enabled by InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with different well layer growth temperatures (WLGTs) were prepared. The dependences of electroluminescence (EL) spectra of these two structures on temperature at various fixed injection currents indicate that, a decreasing WLGT can result in a conversion of the well layer structure from a one-zone structure with better homogeneity in the localization depth into a two-zone structure with different average In contents and different localization depths, due to the increased In content-induced enhanced component fluctuation. The former is inferred from an inverted-V-shaped (increasing-decreasing) temperature-dependent behavior of peak energy at all fixed currents; the latter is mainly inferred from an M-shaped (increasing-decreasing increasing-decreasing) temperature-dependent behavior of peak energy at intermediate fixed currents. These explanations also match those given for temperature-dependent behaviors in terms of external quantum efficiency (EQE) of these two LEDs, including M-shaped temperature-dependent behaviors of the EQE of LED B at the intermediate fixed currents.
