We investigate the differences in optoelectronic performances of InGaN/AlGaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) near-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes by using samples with different indium compositions. Various macroscopic characterizations have been performed to show that the strain-induced piezoelectric field (FPZ), the crystal quality, and the internal quantum efficiency increase with the sample’s indium composition. This improved performance is owing to the carrier recombination at relatively defect-free indium-rich localized sites, caused by the local in-plane potential-energy fluctuation in MQWs. The potential-energy fluctuation in MQWs are considered to be originating from the combined effects of the inhomogeneous distribution of point defects, FPZ, and indium compositions.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we report the growth and fabrication of non-polar A-plane AlGaN multiple quantum well based ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). The LEDs were grown on R-plane sapphire substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The Current-voltage characteristics of the fabricated devices demonstrated rectifying behavior with a series resistance of 38 ohms. An electro-luminescence emission at 338 nm was obtained.
