摘要： The advantages of a GaN-AlGaN-InGaN last quantum barrier (LQB) in an InGaN-based blue light-emitting diode are analyzed via numerical simulation. We found an improved light output power, lower current leakage, higher recombination rate, and less efficiency droop compared with conventional GaN LQBs. These improvements in the electrical and optical characteristics are attributed mainly to the specially designed GaN-AlGaN-InGaN LQB, which enhances electron confinement and improves hole injection efficiency.
