摘要
Step-graded AlGaN electron blocking layers (EBLs) have been designed to replace the original AlGaN EBL in blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The step-graded EBL with increasing Al composition along the growth direction (IEBL) leads to inferior optical performance in the fabricated LEDs, whereas the step-graded EBL with decreasing Al composition (DEBL) results in enhanced light output power and reduced efficiency droop, compared with the original EBL. The simulation results indicate enhanced hole injection and electron confinement by DEBL, which accounts for improved performance. On the contrary, insufficient electron blocking and hole injection by IEBL lead to inferior performance.
