摘要：
High efficiency of green GaAIInN-based light-emitting diode (LED) has been proposed with peak emission wavelength of similar to 510 nm. By introducing quaternary quantum well (QW) along with the quaternary barrier (QB) and quaternary electron blocking layer (EBL) in a single structure, an efficiency droop reduction of up to 29% has been achieved in comparison to the conventional GaN-based LED. The proposed structure has significantly reduced electrostatic field in the active region. As a result, carrier leakage has been minimized and spontaneous emission rate has been doubled.
