Abstract

This paper reports enhanced internal-quantum-efficiency (IQE) in InGaN-based multi-quantum-well (MQW) grown on Si(111) substrate with underlying strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) cladding layer for application in LDs and LEDs. In comparative study between a thick Al0.03Ga0.97N bulk and an Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN SLS cladding layer, transmission-electron-microscopy (TEM) images reveal that Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN SLS cladding layer is effective to suppress threading dislocations. A higher IQE has been achieved in sample with underlying Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN SLS cladding layer, compared to that of Al0.03Ga0.97N bulk cladding layer. IQE of 31.6% has been achieved in sample with underlying Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN SLS cladding layer when the MQW thickness is reduced to 2 nm.
