Abstract

We report on the influence of nanoscale indium fluctuations on physical properties for multiple quantum well (QW) light emitting diodes (LEDs). A commercial grade c-plane LED was analyzed by atom probe tomography, and the indium composition distribution was extracted. The influence of the degree of fluctuation and number of quantum wells were analyzed by a two-dimensional Poisson and drift-diffusion solver with very fine mesh and compared to the experimental result and a simple normal quantum well model. The studies show that the indium fluctuation will significantly impact the device’s internal quantum efficiency, droop behavior, and current-voltage curves. Including the influence of indium-fluctuation gives a better prediction of the device performance.
