AlGaN-Based Multiple Quantum Well Deep Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes With Polarization Doping

The characteristics of AlGaN-based deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with polarization-doped p-type layers were numerically analyzed. The energy band diagrams, carrier distributions in the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) and the p-type regions, electroluminescence spectra, current-ve...
