The internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of an electrically-driven GaN:Eu based device for red light emission is analyzed in the framework of a current injection efficiency model (CIE). The excitation path of the Eu ion is decomposed in a multiple level system, which includes the carrier transport phenomena across the GaN/GaN:Eu/GaN active region of the device, and the interactions among traps, Eu ions and the GaN host. The identification and analysis of the limiting factors of the IQE are accomplished through the CIE model. The CIE model provides a guidance for high IQE in the electrically-driven GaN:Eu based red light emitters.

A physically intuitive current injection efficiency model for a GaN:Eu quantum well (QW) has been developed to clarify the necessary means to achieve device quantum efficiency higher than the state-of-the-art GaN:Eu system for red light emission. The identification and analysis of limiting factors for high internal quantum efficiencies (IQE) are accomplished through the current injection efficiency model. In addition, the issue of the significantly lower IQE in the electrically-driven GaN:Eu devices in comparison to the optically-pumped GaN:Eu devices is clarified in the framework of this injection efficiency model.
