摘要
Green InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well(MQW) LEDs employing InGaN/GaN superlattice(SL) structure were studied. The distribution of indium within the MQWs is changed by inserting the InGaN/GaN SL. Meanwhile, the average indium content of MQW does not change. Two InGaN-related peaks that were clearly found in the electroluminescence(EL) and photoluminescence(PL) spectrum, which are assigned to In-rich quantum dots(QD) and the InGaN matrix, respectively. It is suggested that the carrier drifts from the InGaN matrix to the In-rich QD. It could be concluded that employing SL structures is an effective way to adjust the wavelength of InGaN/GaN MQW without introducing new defects in the MQWs.
