Inserting a AlN Electron Blocking Layer for InGaN/GaN Blue Light-Emitting Diodes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this study, the advantages of the AlN electron blocking layer (EBL) for InGaN/GaN blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were investigated. The LEDs with the AlN EBL exhibited better optical performance over a wide range of carrier concentration due to the suppression of electron overflow. Furthermore, the AlN EBL with a thicker last barrier layer was investigated. The thicker last barrier layer was used to enhance Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) characteristic by the better current spreading effect.
