摘要
An InGaN-based light-emitting diode with a p-GaN/n-GaN barrier junction is fabricated and investigated. Due to the built-in potential induced by this junction, superior current spreading performance is achieved. In addition, the suppression of the current-crowding phenomenon yields a reduced parasitic effect. Therefore, under an injection current of 20 mA, improved behaviors, including lower turn-on voltage, lower parasitic series resistance, and reduced p-n junction temperature, are achieved. In addition, due to the improved current-spreading ability, longer life-time, driving at medium current injection (60 mA), as well as significantly enhanced electrostatic discharge performance, are obtained.
