Abstract
- Abstract: The AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) with specific design of staggered AlGaN quantum wells are investigated numerically. The proposed UV LEDs with Al0.45Ga0.55N–Al0.5Ga0.5N–Al0.45Ga0.55N and Al0.5Ga0.5N–Al0.45Ga0.55N–Al0.5Ga0.5N staggered quantum well layers exhibit significant improvement for the light output power and carrier injection efficiency compared with the conventional AlGaN UV LED. The enhanced performance of the designed LEDs is explained by the simulated distribution of carrier concentration, radiative recombination rate and wave function overlap in the quantum wells.
