Improving the Current Spreading by Locally Modulating the Doping Type in the n-AlGaN Layer for AlGaN-Based Deep Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract In this report, we locally modulate the doping type in the n-AlGaN layer by proposing n-AlGaN/p-AlGaN/n-AlGaN (NPN-AlGaN)-structured current spreading layer for AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs). After inserting a thin p-AlGaN layer into the n-AlGaN electron supp...
