摘要
The results of investigation into forward-bias current-voltage characteristics of InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the static and pulsed modes for current densities up to 1000 A/cm2are reported. It is shown that starting from 5-6 V, the voltage-current characteristics are described by a linear dependence at room temperature. The series resistance is in no excess of 1 Omega for the area of diodes S a parts per thousand aEuro parts per thousand 1 mm2 and is determined by the specific contact resistance. It is also found that in the voltage-current characteristic under forward bias, there is a temperature-dependent segment between those of recombination and ohmic currents.
