摘要
Over 0.1 mW ultraviolet output was achieved by an AlGaN-based light-emitting diode. To realize a highly conductive and ultraviolet-transparent layer, a short-period alloy superlattice was introduced. The device was fabricated on SiC substrate. Low electric resistivity due to the short-period alloy superlattice and the high thermal conductivity of the SiC substrate enabled large current injection of up to 1.7 kA/cm(2). The emission was monochromatic band-edge emission about 350 nm in wavelength without significant D-A and/or deep emissions. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
