Internal Quantum Efficiency of Whole-Composition-Range AlGaN Multiquantum Wells
2011
We analyze the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of whole-composition-range AlGaN multiquantum wells (MQWs) on AlGaN with various dislocation densities (DDs) by excitation-density-dependent photoluminescence measurement. IQEs of deep ultraviolet/ultraviolet (DUV/UV) MQWs are strongly dependent on the DD. IQE with an excess carrier density of 1×1018 cm-3 changes from 4 to 64% when the DD changes from 6×109 to 2×108 cm-2. This trend is almost the same for DUV/UV MQWs with emission wavelength ranging from 230 to 350 nm. Thus, the reduction of the DD is very important for the realization of a high-IQE DUV/UV active layer.
