Abstract
The effect of the quantum well (QW) width on the light output and efficiency of ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) has been investigated. The carrier injection in the devices is simulated and compared with electroluminescence (EL) measurements. The light output power depends clearly on the QW thickness. The highest output power has been found for the LEDs with a QW thickness of 2.2βnm. This effect is attributed to the tradeβoff between electron and hole wave function overlap and carrier concentration in the active region which are triggered by the quantum confined Stark effect.

## Abstract We report a new approach for growing thicker (>2βΒ΅m) lowβdefect AlGaN layers over sapphire using pulsed MOCVD procedure. These high content AlGaN layers serve as templates for subsequent nβAlGaN growth for deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes (DUV LEDs). During the growth of the Al~__
Optical spectra of GaN, In-doped GaN, and InGaN single quantum well (SQW) structures were compared to explore the role of In for the emission mechanisms in the SQW light emitting diodes (LEDs). The internal electric field, F, due to spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in strained quantum well
