Abstract
In this paper, we numerically investigated the emission characteristics of surface plasmon (SP)-enhanced deep ultraviolet light emitting diode (DUV-LED) by employing Al/Al2O3 core-shell nanoparticle(NP) structure on the p-GaN contact layer by utilizing finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results suggest that normalized dipole power of TE (TM) polarization is enhanced (inhibited) in the DUV range by coupling with in-plane substrate localized surface plasmon (LSP) mode from Al/Al2O3 core-shell nanoparticle (NP). It is found that normalized upward extraction power for both polarizations can also be significantly increased by scattering effect when photons and excitons coupling with in-plane air LSP mode induced on the NP; thus, the light extraction efficiency (LEE) can be substantially enhanced. The depth d between quantum well (QW) and NP and NP size have a remarkable influence on LSP resonance wavelength. Through careful regulation of NP size and depth d, the emission characteristics in DUV range (240–280 nm) exhibit a considerable amelioration.
