- Abstract
- The external quantum efficiency (EQE) of a GaInN green light-emitting diode (LED) is improved by inserting a p-type ZnO layer between the indium tin oxide electrode and the p-type GaN layer. Several hypotheses are discussed to explain the EQE improvement in the LED with the ZnO layer. It is concluded that higher hole injection efficiency and better electron confinement explain the EQE improvement, which is supported by the results of device simulations showing that the EQE is sensitive to the polarization sheet charge density at the interface between the last quantum barrier and electron-blocking layer.
