The influence of the position of the InGaN layer on the electroluminescence properties of red InGaN/GaN single quantum well light-emitting diodes was numerically investigated. It was found that as the InGaN well shifts from the P-region to the N-region, the EL intensity decreases, and the spectrum red-shifts. The reduction in EL intensity is attributed to the enhanced injection efficiency of holes and weakened injection efficiency of electrons, resulting in a decrease in the total amount of carriers.
In this paper, the influence of the position of InGaN layer well on the electroluminescence (EL) properties of red InGaN/GaN single quantum well (SQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is investigated numerically. It is found that as the InGaN well shifts from the P-region to the N-region, the LED's EL intensity decreases, and the spectrum red-shifts. By analyzing the EL spectra, energy band structures and carrier distribution, it is considered that, when the well position moves away from the P-region, the injection barrier width of holes increases, while that of electrons decreases. Thus, the injection efficiency of electrons and holes is enhanced and weakened, respectively. Compared with electrons, the injection efficiency of holes with larger effective mass can be significantly reduced by a thicker barrier. As a result, the hole concentration in InGaN QW is reduced more severely, leading to a reduction in the total amount of carriers. The decreased concentration of injected carriers may weaken the carrier screening effect to the polarization electrical field, thereby the polarization-induced quantum confinedStark effect is enhanced. As a consequence, for the SQW red LED whose InGaN well is far away from the P-region, the EL intensity of the SQW red LED is reduced and the peak wavelength becomes longer.
