Optimal width of quantum well for reversed polarization blue InGaN light-emitting diodes

Abstract

The optical properties of reversed polarization (RP) blue InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) under different quantum wells (QWs) width are numerically studied. We compared the band diagram, electron and hole concentration, emission wavelength, radiation recombination, internal quantum efficiency (IQE), turn on voltage and light output power (LOP) of these structures by numerical simulation. It found that QW width has a remarkable influence on the properties of RP blue InGaN LEDs. With the increase of QW width, the turn on voltage and radiation recombination rate decreases. It finds that the optimal width of QWs is about 3 nm at the current injection density of 15 A/cm2. © 2013 © 2013 Author(s).
