摘要
The application of a p-type superlattice hole reservoir layer in the traditional ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UVLED) can obtain better Internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and output power, ease the problem about efficient carrier movement in high Al-content AlGaN material. Through computation and analysis by using the APSYS simulation software, the change of position of the hole reservoir layer can influence the luminous efficiency. The design of a superlattice hole reservoir layer between electron blocking layer (EBL) and p-type AlGaN layer can obviously reduce the hole potential height and increase the electron potential height, produce more hole injection and less electron leak, leading to higher carrier concentration, so as to realize the further increased for carrier recombination rate.
