AbstractA Si nanocrystal based metal-oxide-semiconductor light-emitting diode (MOSLED) on Si nano-pillar array is preliminarily demonstrated. Rapid self-aggregation of Ni nanodots on Si substrate covered with a thin SiO2 buffered layer is employed as the etching mask for obtaining Si nano-pillar array. Dense Ni nanodots with size and density of 30 nm and 2.8×10 cm-2, respectively, can be formatted after rapid thermal annealing at 850°C for 22 s. The nano-roughened Si surface contributes to both the relaxation of total-internal reflection at device-air interface and the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling enhanced turn-on characteristics, providing the MOSLED a maximum optical power of 0.7 uW obtained at biased current of 375 uA. The optical intensity, turn-on current, power slope and external quantum efficiency of the MOSLED are 140 μW/cm2, 5 uA, 2+-0.8 mW/A and 1×10-3, respectively, which is almost one order of magnitude larger than that of a same device made on smooth Si substrate.

Purpose This study aims to focus on roughening N-face (backside) GaN substrate prior to GaN-on-GaN light-emitting diode (LED) growth as an attempt to improve the LED performance. Design/methodology/approach The N-face of GaN substrate was roughened by three different etchants; ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), a mixture of NH4OH and H2O2 (NH4OH: H2O2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). Hexagonal pyramids were successfully formed on the surface when the substrate was subjected to the etching in all cases. Findings Under 30 min of etching, the highest density of pyramids was obtained by NH4OH: H2O2 etching, which was 5 × 109 cm–2. The density by KOH and NH4OH etchings was 3.6 × 109 and 5 × 108 cm–2, respectively. At standard operation of current density at 20 A/cm2, the optical power and external quantum efficiency of the LED on the roughened GaN substrate by NH4OH: H2O2 were 12.3 mW and 22%, respectively, which are higher than its counterparts. Originality/value This study demonstrated NH4OH: H2O2 is a new etchant for roughening the N-face GaN substrate. The results showed that such etchant increased the density of the pyramids on the N-face GaN substrate, which subsequently resulted in higher optical power and external quantum efficiency to the LED as compared to KOH and NH4OH.

Here we report a quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED), in which a layer of colloidal silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) works as the optically active component, exhibiting a strong electroluminescence (EL) spectrum peaking at 620 nm. We could not see any fluctuation of the EL spectral peak, even in air, when the operation voltage varied in the range from 4 to 5 V because of the possible advantage of the inverted device structure. The pale-orange EL spectrum was as narrow as 95 nm. Interestingly, the EL spectrum was narrower than the corresponding photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The EL emission was strong enough to be seen by the naked eye. The currently obtained brightness (∼4200 cd/m2), the 0.033% external quantum efficiency (EQE), and a turn-on voltage as low as 2.8 V show a sufficiently high performance when compared to other orange-light-emitting Si-QLEDs in the literature. We also observed a parasitic emission from the neighboring compositional layer (i.e., the zinc oxide layer), and its intensity increased with the driving voltage of the device.

ABSTRACTDetailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the pulsed excitation of polymer light emitting diodes is presented. We find a set of universal transient features for different device configurations which can be reproduced using our phenomenological numerical model. We find that the temporal evolution of the electroluminescence can be characterised by five main features: i) a delay followed by; ii) fast initial rise at turn-on followed by; iii) a slow rise (slower by at least one order of magnitude); iv) fast modulation (<15ns, unresolved) at turn-off followed by v) a long-lived exponential tail. We suggest a method for extracting mobility values which is found to be compatible with CW drive schemes. Mobilities for holes and electrons are extracted for a poly(p-phenylenevinylene) co-polymer and poly(di-octyl fluorene).
