Abstract

Optical characteristics of excitonic blue and green emission of Te-doped ZnSSe:Te epitaxial layers, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The Te-doped ternary specimen shows strong blue or green emission (at 300K) which is assigned to $Te_1$ or $Te_n$ $(n{\geq}2)$ cluster cluster bound exciton, respectively. Bright green and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The green LEDs exhibit a fairly long device lifetime (>2000 h) when operated at 3 $A/cm^2$ under CW condition at room temperature.
