摘要
The work is devoted to explanation of the decrease of external quantum efficiency (QE) with increase of pumping density typically observed for AlInGaN heterostrucures. It is shown as a result of numerical modeling that while the increase of QE at low pumping density is due to the competition between radiative and non-radiative recombination, the decrease of QE at large pumping density is caused by decrease of injection efficiency for the holes into the active area. A modified LED heterostructure is suggested, for which the effect of QE decreasing is not expected. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
