In this paper, a structure design using quaternary AlInGaN as multiple-symmetrical-stair-shaped quantum barriers without an electron blocking layer is shown. The results show this design mitigates the droop effect to ∼0.1, and the internal quantum efficiency reaches about 93.4%. It is believed that the better performance results from balanced electron and hole concentration and distribution of the current among the quantum wells, along with reduced non-radiative recombination. This work may be useful in the application of using quaternary AlInGaN materials as quantum barrier layers with computational simulations to design structures with electron-barrier-free layers.

The optoelectronic characteristics of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) with quaternary last quantum barrier (QLQB) and step-graded electron blocking layer (EBL) are investigated numerically. The results show that the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and radiative recombination rate are remarkably improved with AlInGaN step-graded EBL and QLQB as compared to conventional or ternary AlGaN EBL and last quantum barrier (LQB). This significant improvement is assigned to the optimal recombination of electron-hole pairs in the multiple quantum wells (MQWs).

Substrate modes affect the behavior of a LD severely, including the laser beam quality, the optical output power, the longitudinal mode stability, and the maximum modulation speed. In this article, systematic studies on the n-cladding layer (CL) design to suppress the substrate mode of GaN-based green LDs were carried out.

The electronic properties of quaternary AlInGaN devices significantly depend on the homogeneity of the alloy. The identification of compositional fluctuations or verification of random-alloy distribution is hence of grave importance. Here, a comprehensive multiprobe study of composition and compositional homogeneity is presented, investigating AlInGaN layers with indium concentrations ranging from 0 to 17at% and aluminium concentrations between 0 and 39 at% employing high-angle annular dark field scanning electron microscopy (HAADF STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and atom probe tomography (APT).
