Bottom photonic crystals-dependent photoluminescence of InGaN/GaN Quantum-Well Blue LEDs

하부 광결정에 따른 InGaN/GaN 양자우물구조의 청색발광 다이오드 발광 특성

The authors investigated the InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well blue light emitting diodes with the implements of the photonic crystals fabricated at the top surface of p-GaN layer or the bottom interface of n-GaN layer. The top photonic crystals result in the lattice-dependent photoluminescence spectra for the blue light emitting diodes, which have a wavelength of 450nm. However, the bottom photonic crystal shows a big shift of the photoluminescence peak from 444 nm to 504 nm and played as a role of quality enhancement for the crystal growth of GaN thin film. The micro-Raman spectroscopy shows the improved epitaxial quality of GaN thin film.
