摘要
We report on the growth and characterization of green InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on Si (111) substrates us in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. A single InGaN quantum well active layer has been used. The optical qualities of InGaN on Si(111) and the p-doping efficiency of GaN are discussed. The turn-on voltage of the LED is 6.8 V and the operating voltage is 10.7 V at 20 mA. Electroluminescence of the LEDs starts at a forward bias of 3.5 V. The electroluminescence peaks at 508 nm, with a full-width at half maximum of 52 nm. An optical output power of 6 muW (in similar to 8 pi /5 sr) was achieved for an applied current of 20 mA.
