Investigation of Efficiency and Droop Behavior Comparison for InGaN/GaN Super Wide-Well Light Emitting Diodes Grown on Different Substrates
In this work, efficiency droop of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well LEDs with super wide well (WW) is discussed by comparing the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of GaN grown on sapphire and FS-GaN substrates. The luminescence and electrical characteristics of these WW LEDs are also experimentally an...
