摘要
We fabricated InAlGaN quaternary ultraviolet (UV)-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on GaN substrates with a low dislocation density and on GaN templates consisting of n-GaN on sapphire substrates, and compared the characteristics of these LEDs. A UV LED on a GaN substrate showed a considerably higher output power than that on a GaN template and no saturation even at an injection current of 500mA. Cathodeluminescence images indicated the advantages of using GaN substrates in InAlGaN UV LEDs.
