Abstract Results are presented of a study of commercial blue and UV light-emitting diodes based on structures with InGaN/GaN quantum wells. An accelerated aging was provided by currents of 80 – 190 mA under a forward bias with duration not exceeding 3 h. The study demonstrated the possible rise in the external quantum efficiency by 20% relative to that in the starting samples. The possible physical mechanisms responsible for the rise in the quantum efficiency and for the formation of a low-frequency current noise are presented.

A comparative analysis of the initial stages of degradation of ultraviolet and blue LED structures with InGaN / GaN quantum wells is carried out. In the mode of accelerated aging, the structures were subjected to short-term, sequential exposure to currents of 80–190 mA at forward bias. The exposure time did not exceed three hours. There was an increase (up to 20%) in the external quantum efficiency. The most probable physical mechanisms explaining the changes in InGaN / GaN LEDs are presented and possible ways to slow down the aging of UV LEDs are outlined.

High quantum efficiency LEDs with InGaN/GaN/AlGaN/GaN MQWs have been demonstrated. The proposed GaN interlayer barrier can not only increase the concentration and the spatial overlap of carriers, but also improve the quality of the MQWs.

ABSTRACTFirst results on light emitting diodes in porous silicon were reported in 1991. They showed a quantum efficiency of 10-7 to 10-5 and an orange spectrum. Over the last year some progress was achieved:- By applying UV-light during the etching blue and green light emitting diodes in porous silicon are fabricated.- When a p/n junction is realized within the porous region, a quantum efficiency of 10-4 is obtained.

<p> Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) are regarded as a new, highly promising class of optoelectronic materials thanks to their unique excitonic characteristics of high extinction coefficient and ultranarrow emission bandwidth. Although the exploration of CQWs in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is impressive, the performance of CQW-LEDs lags far behind compared with other types of LEDs (e.g., organic LEDs, colloidal quantum-dot LEDs, and perovskite LEDs). Herein, for the first time, the authors show high-efficiency CQW-LEDs reaching close to the theoretical limit. A key factor for this high performance is the exploitation of hot-injection shell (HIS) growth of CQWs, which enables a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), reduces nonradiative channels, ensures smooth films and enhances the stability. Remarkably, the PLQY remains 95% in solution and 87% in film despite rigorous cleaning. Through systematically understanding their shape-, composition- and device- engineering, the CQW-LEDs using CdSe/Cd<sub>0.25</sub>Zn<sub>0.75</sub>S core/HIS CQWs exhibit a maximum external quantum efficiency of 19.2%. Additionally, a high luminance of 23,490 cd m<sup>-2</sup>, extremely saturated red color with the Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates of (0.715, 0.283) and stable emission are obtained. The findings indicate that HIS grown CQWs enable high-performance solution-processed LEDs, which may pave the path for CQW-based display and lighting technologies.</p>

Luminescence spectra of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with Multiple Quantum Wells (MQWs) were studied at currents J = 0.15 μA - 150 mA. A high quantum efficiency at low J is caused by a low probability of the tunnel current J (which is maximum at Jm ≈ 0.5-1.0 mA). J(V) curves were measured in the range J= 10−12-10−1 A; at J > 10−3A they may be approximated by a sum of four parts: V= φk+ mkT·[ln(J/J0)+(J/J1)0.5] + J·Rs. The part V ~ (J/J1)0.5is the evidence of a double-injection into i-layers near MQWs. Their presence is confirmed by capacitance measurements. An overflow of carriers through the MQW causes a lower quantum efficiency at high J. A model of a 2D-density of states with exponential tails fits the spectra. The value of T in the active layer was estimated. A new band was detected at high J; it can be caused by non-uniformity of In content in MQWs.

AbstractThe current dependences of the spectral noise density and quantum efficiency in green and blue light-emitting diodes with InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) are measured. It is shown that the noise level greatly increases at high currents at which there is a quantum efficiency droop. The mechanism by which the current noise is formed is associated with hopping transport via the deep states of color centers in GaN across the n barrier of an InGaN/GaN QW. The source of the noise is the hopping resistance of the space-charge region, which limits the current of thermally activated electrons into the QW. The efficiency droop and the increase in noise level are attributed to a change in the electric-field direction near the QW at high injection levels and to an increase in the tunneling leakage of holes from the QW. It is shown that the experimental frequency-related noise spectra having the shape of a Lorentzian spectrum at the working currents are related to the frequency of hopping between deep centers near the InGaN/GaN QW and to Maxwell relaxation in the space-charge region.
