Abstract

Simulated rocking curves for a light-emitting diode structure are presented. Results for a structure containing uniform layers are compared to rocking curve data for a wafer grown by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE), and we conclude from the comparison that the VPE wafer closely approached the hypothetical ideal assumed in the simulations. Simulations illustrating difficulties in analyses and the effects of a graded active layer are also presented.
