摘要
We achieved simultaneous two emissions from a single light emitting diode containing violet and blue GaInN/GaN quantum well active regions separated with an intermediate layer. By adjusting a thickness of a Mg-doped region in the intermediate layer, an intensity ratio between violet and blue emissions was changed, caused by different carrier distributions in the two active regions. The intensity ratio from two active regions was also changed by changing an amount of current injection. An unintentional Mg incorporation into the active region above the Mg-doped intermediate layer was observed, which is due to Mg memory effect. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
