- A light-emitting diode (LED) structure containing p-type GaN layers with two-step Mg doping profiles is proposed to achieve high-efficiency performance in InGaN-based blue LEDs without any AlGaN electron-blocking-layer structures. Photoluminescence and electroluminescence (EL) measurement results show that, as the hole concentration in the p-GaN interlayer between active region and the p-GaN layer increases, defect-related nonradiative recombination increases, while the electron current leakage decreases. Under a certain hole-concentration condition in the p-GaN interlayer, the electron leakage and active region degradation are optimized so that high EL efficiency can be achieved. The measured efficiency characteristics are analyzed and interpreted using numerical simulations. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
