Investigation of strain in InGaN MQW structures


EMSL Project ID
4795

Abstract

InGaN/GaN MQW structures have been grown using a commercial MOCVD reactor. These structures are commonly used for high brightness LEDs and are a necessary component for developing practical white LEDs devices. We have shown for a seven period InGaN/GaN (25A/150A) MQW structure grown on different thickness GaN template layers that the electroluminescence emission is red shifted by 0.15 eV for the thicker template. This could be due to reduced/increased strain due to the increase/decrease in template thickness. A strain analysis using High Resolution X-Ray Diffraction (HRXRD) could help in determining strain differences and possibly some composition determination in these structures and related to the thickness of the template layer.
