Abstract

Although Si and Mg impurities are essential elements for n and p type GaN, unintentional incorporation into InGaN-multiple quantum wells (MQWs) seriously affects the optical property of LEDs. Si doping in MQWs obstructs the hole carrier transport and induces the dead quantum wells (QWs) of MQWs. Also, Mg impurity diffusion from p- GaN into MQWs degrades the radiative recombination rate of the QWs placed near Mg doped p-GaN layer. In this paper, the effects of Si and Mg impurities on the optical property were systematically investigated.
