Abstract

We investigated InGaN-based amber light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with AlN/(Al)GaN barrier layers grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Tensilely strained AlN/Al0.03Ga0.97N barriers improved the crystalline quality of compressively strained InGaN quantum wells. We found that strain compensation among wells and barriers improves the external quantum efficiency of high-In-content InGaN-based amber LEDs. The amber LEDs with AlN/Al0.03Ga0.97N barriers have shown an electroluminescence (EL) intensity approximately 2.5-fold that of LEDs with the AlN/GaN barriers at 20 mA.
