Design and analysis of novel high-performance III-nitride MQW-based nanowire white-LED using HfO2/SiO2 encapsulation

S. Das et al.

Summary: A novel white light-emitting diode structure with enhanced thermal characteristics is designed for efficient lighting in underground mining. The use of a new nano hafnium oxide-silica doped silicone layer as LED encapsulation material improves efficiency by 30.1% and reduces efficiency droop by 0.491%. The improved power and efficiency are attributed to the reduction of electron overflow in the p-GaN region, achieved by the HfO2/SiO2 doped bi-layer. The use of nano HfO2/SiO2 as encapsulant material not only enhances light extraction, but also expands the possibilities of encapsulant engineering composites.

The role of indium composition in InxGa1-xN prestrained layer towards optical characteristics of EBL free GaN/InGaN nanowire LEDs for enhanced luminescence

Samadrita Das et al.

Summary: In this paper, an electron blocking layer (EBL) free light emitting diode (LED) nanowire with prestrained layers has been proposed. The prestrained layers of InxGa1-xN/GaN are inserted between the GaN/InGaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) and n-GaN layer to enhance the luminescence of the LED nanowires. The efficiency of the LED nanowire with prestrained layer has been improved by approximately 2.897% compared to the conventional one, due to the reduction of polarization field in the active region. The LED with 15% indium in the prestrained layer achieves a maximum efficiency of 85.21% with a minimum efficiency droop of 3.848% at 40 mA injected current. The proposed III-nitride LED nanostructure allows for superior optical power across the output spectral range.

EFFICIENCY AND RADIATIVE RECOMBINATION RATE ENHANCEMENT IN GAN/ALGAN MULTI-QUANTUM WELL-BASED ELECTRON BLOCKING LAYER FREE UV-LED FOR IMPROVED LUMINESCENCE

Samadrita Das et al.

Summary: In this study, a GaN/AlGaN light emitting diode (LED) without an electron blocking layer (EBL) is designed with a graded composition in the quantum barriers of the active region. The proposed LED incorporates a GaN buffer layer in a c-plane to enhance carrier transportation and reduce efficiency droop. Compared to the conventional LED with square barriers, the designed LED has quantum barriers with aluminium composition graded from 20% to about 2% per triangular. The simulation results show that the designed LED achieves a higher internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 48.4%, significantly reducing efficiency droop to about 7.72% at 60 mA injected current compared to the conventional LED. Moreover, the proposed LED structure improves radiative recombination by approximately 136.7%, reduces electron leakage, and enhances optical power by about 8.084% at 60 mA injected current as compared to the conventional GaN/AlGaN EBL LED structure.

K. Pieniak et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of injected current on the screening of the built-in electric field in LEDs, revealing that in LEDs with narrow quantum wells, a large portion of built-in field remains even at high injection currents, while in LEDs with wide quantum wells, the electric field is fully screened even at the lowest currents.

Summary: The study introduces an EBL-free AlGaN deep UV LED structure with graded staircase quantum barriers to reduce electron leakage and efficiency droop. This structure improves electron confinement, reduces the quantum-confined Stark effect, and enhances electron and hole wavefunctions overlap, leading to significantly higher internal quantum efficiency and output power compared to conventional structures.
