摘要
Zn atoms diffused from the Zn-doped p-InAlP cladding to the active layer in InGaAlP visible-light-emitting diodes may cause a degeneration of light output efficiency. A doping effect of the Zn atoms was investigated using a piezoelectric photoacoustic measurement from a nonradiative transition point of view. The results indicate that the Zn-doping induces a decrease of the nonradiative component of the electron transitions above the bandgap of the active layer. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
