摘要：

P-type AlGaN/GaN/InGaN superlattices were incorporated in a InGaN based blue light emitting diode as electron blocking layer to minimize the temperature dependence on optical output power. For the characteristic temperatures in range of 10 to 100 degrees C and at operation current of 350 mA, the external quantum efficiency varied by less than 0.5%. For the presented device, the negative characteristic temperature was shown to occur below temperature of 50 degrees C. The improved temperature stability in optical output power is thought to be attributed to (1) the efficiency of hole carrier transport in AlGaN/GaN/InGaN superlattices and (2) the enhanced blocking of electron overflow between multiple quantum wells and AlGaN/GaN/InGaN superlattices.
