在這篇論文中,提出一項關於具有不同厚度p型的氮化鋁鎵電子阻擋層的氮化鎵系列發光二極體的研究。該研究顯示,當氮化鋁鎵電子阻擋層的厚度增加,發光二極體可以承受更高的靜電放電水平。觀測到的靜電放電承受能力提高,可以歸結加厚p型氮化鋁鎵電子阻擋層的事實,可能在一定程度上填補氮化銦鎵-氮化鎵多量子阱表面上發生差排相關的坑洞,這是由於應變和低溫生長過程。如果這些差排相關的坑洞沒有一定程度的被抑制,他們最終將導致許多連同氮化銦鎵-氮化鎵多量子阱相交的穿線差排的表面坑洞,從而降低了靜電放電承受能力。
氮化鎵系列藍光發光二極體,使用在n型氮化鎵被覆層與氮化銦鎵-氮化鎵多量子阱主動層之間插入一層氮化銦鎵來增進元件特性。相較於不包含這樣一層的控片,靜電放電承受電壓從1000伏特提升到6000伏特。這兩種元件在高偏壓電流下的動態量測,被證明的元件展現較高的調製速度。在動態與靜態性能的改善,主要是由於插入的氮化銦鎵層可以發揮電流擴散層的作用這一事實,這導致在正負電交匯處有特定的地點遭受大電流密度的可能性較低。
圖案化藍寶石基板的U-氮化鎵底層成長壓力在氮化鎵系列的發光二極體的靜電放電承受能力的影響進行評估。當成長壓力從100托爾提升至500托爾時,靜電放電承受電壓從4000伏特提升至7000伏特。差的靜電放電承受能力,可以歸因於底層的相對較低的壓力下生長的GaN層,這條件導致顯著的表面凹坑。這可以進一步歸結為凸的藍寶石圖案上的晶體平面的不完全凝聚。凹坑相關差排作用如同漏電路徑而使元件電特性退化。
關於氮化鎵系列藍光發光二極體不同能帶圖的研究,揭示發光二極管隨著量子阱能帶形貌的修改,可以減緩發光效率下降的行為。在觀察到的減緩光效率下降行為的改善,可以歸因於一個事實,就是壓電場可能有一定程度的減低和一種發生減弱電子溢流和歐傑過程的窄底部、寬頂部和兩側緩和的量子阱的形貌。壓電場如果沒有一定程度的抑制,他們最終將導致與歐傑過程相關的電子溢流,從而導致光效率下降的行為。
In this dissertation, a study regarding GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with p-type AlGaN electron blocking layers (EBLs) of different thicknesses is presented. The study revealed that the LEDs could endure higher electrostatic discharge (ESD) levels as the thickness of the AlGaN EBL increased. The observed improvement in the ESD endurance ability could be attributed to the fact that the thickened p-AlGaN EBL may partly fill the dislocation-related pits that occur on the surface of the InGaN–GaN multiple-quantum well (MQW) and that are due to the strain and the low-temperature-growth process. If these dislocation-related pits are not partly suppressed, they will eventually result in numerous surface pits associated with threading dislocations that intersect the InGaN–GaN MQW, thereby reducing the ESD endurance ability.
GaN-based blue LEDs using an InGaN layer inserted between the n-type GaN cladding layer and the active layer (InGaN/GaN MQWs) to improve device performances is studied. Compared with the control device, which doesn’t incorporate such layer, the ESD endurance voltages increased from 1,000 V to 6,000 V. The dynamic measurement of both devices has also been performed and a higher modulation speed of demonstrated device (20 MHz vs. 57 MHz) can also be observed under high bias current (~100 mA). The improvement of both static and dynamic performance could be mainly due to the fact that the InGaN insertion layer can play a role of current spreading layer, which led to a lower possibility of junctions suffering a large current density in specific local site.
The effect of growth pressure of underlying undoped GaN(u-GaN) layer on the electrical properties of GaN-based LEDs grown on patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) is evaluated. The ESD endurance voltages could increase from 4000 to 7000 V when the growth pressure of u-GaN layers is increased from 100 to 500 torr. Poor ESD endurance ability could be attributed to the underlying GaN layer grown under relative low pressure, which leads to significant surface pits. This could be further attributed to the imperfect coalescence of crystal planes above the convex sapphire patterns. The pits are associated with TDs behaving as a leakage path to degrade electrical performance.
A study regarding GaN-based LEDs with different band diagrams is revealed that the LEDs could mitigate the efficiency droop behavior as the band diagram of well modified. The observed improvement in the mitigation of droop behavior could be attributed to the fact that the piezoelectric field may partly be reduced and the shape is of narrow on well’s bottom and wide on well’s top and slop modified on both side that occurs on the alleviation of electron over flow and Auger process. If the piezoelectric field is not partly suppressed, they will result in electron over flow associated with Auger process, thereby resulting in the droop behavior.
