  • Linewidth enhancement factor ($\alpha{-factor}$) 값이 2와 4인 두 종류의 1.55${\mu}m$ 다층양자우물(Multi-Quantum Well; MQW) 대면적 레이저 다이오드를 제작하였다. 제작된 레이저 다이오드의 far-field 측정 결과 $\alpha{-factor}$ 값이 4일 때 보다 2인 구조에서 반폭치(Full Width at Half Maximum; FWHM)와 필라멘테이션(filamentation)이 감소되었다. 주입전류의 증가에 따라 두 종류 모두 far-field의 FWHM의 증가 현상이 나타났고 이는 filament spacing이 감소하였기 때문으로 설명된다.

  • An InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structure is grown on a GaN/sapphire template using a plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). The fluctuation of the quantum well thickness formed from roughly-grown InGaN layer results in a disordered photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The surface morphologies of the InGaN layers with various In compositions are investigated by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A blurred InGaN/GaN hetero-interface and the non-uniform QW size is confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Inhomogeneity of the quantum confinement results in a degradation of the quantum efficiency even though the InGaN layer has a uniform In composition.

  • The efficiency and the optical properties of the yellow organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) were significantly affected by the existence of the multiple quantum well (MQW) structures consisting of N, N'- bis-(1-naphthyl)-N, N'-diphenyl-1,1-biphenyl-4,4'- diamine(NPB)/5,6,11,12 - tetraphenylnaphthacene (rubrene). The maximum efficiency and the luminance of OLEDs with 3-periods of the NPB/rubrene MQWs at 41.6 $mA/cm^2$ were 3.66 cd/A and 1524 $cd/m^2$, respectively, and their Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage chromaticity coordinates were (0.34, 0.55), which indicates a yellow color. These results indicate that the efficiencies of the OLEDs by using MQW emitting layers can be improved.

  • We report on the growth and characterization of InGaN/GaN MQWs on two different types of sapphire substrates and GaN substrates. The InGaN/GaN MQWs are grown by using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Our analysis of the satellite peaks in the HRXRD patterns shows, GaN substrates InGaN/GaN MQW compared to sapphire substrates InGaN/GaN MQW, more compressive strain on GaN substrates than on sapphire substrates. However, results of optical investigation of InGaN/GaN MQWs grown on GaN substrates and on sapphire substrates, which have lower Stokes-like shift of PL to GaN substrates compared to sapphire substrates, are shown to the potential fluctuation and the quantum-confined Stark effect induced by the built-in internal field due to spontaneous and straininduced piezoelectric polarizations. The InGaN/GaN MQWs are shown to quantify the Stokes-like shift as a function of x.

  • A reflection type SEED from LP-MOCVD grown InGaAs/GaAs ESQW structures, with 5% In fraction, has been fabricated and its basic characteristics were investigated. Its intrinsic region consists of 50 pairs of alternating $100{\AA}$ $In_{0.05}Ga_{0.95}As$ barrier and $100{\AA}$ GaAs layers. And a multilayer reflector stack of $Al_{0.12}Ga_{0.88}As(641{\AA})-/AlAs(774{\AA})$ was vertically integrated below the p-i-n structures. The device processing includes the mesa etching, insulator deposition, indium metallization, and thermal alloy for Ohmic contact. Photocurrent spectrum measurement showed the exciton absorption peak at 905nm and availability as a optical switching device. This device showed a contrast ratio of 2:1 by the reflectance spectrum measurement.

  • In recent years there have been many studies of InGaN/GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) in order to progress the performance of luminescence. Many previous literatures showed the performance of LEDs by changing the LED structures and substrates. However, the studies carried out by the researchers so far were very complicated and sometimes difficult to apply in practice. Therefore, we propose one simple method of changing the thickness and the numbers of multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in order to optimize their effects. In our research, we investigated electrical and optical properties by changing the well thickness and the number of quantum well (QW) pair in LED structures by growing the structure -inch Si (111) wafer. We defined the samples from LED_1 to LED_3 according to MQW structure. Samples LED_1, LED_2 and LED_3 consist of 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/ 4.5 nm), 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3 nm/4.5 nm) and 7-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/4.5 nm), respectively. We characterized electrical and optical properties by using electroluminescence (EL) measurement. Also, Efficiency droop was analyzed by calculating external quantum efficiency (EQE) with varying injection current. The EL spectra of three samples show different emission wavelength peaks, FWHM and the blueshift of wavelength caused by screening the internal electric field because of the effect of different MQW structure. The results of optical properties show that the LED_2 sample reduce the internal electric field in QW than LED_1 from EL spectra. the increase in the number of QW pairs reduces the strain and increase the In composition in MQW. And, the points of efficiency droop's peak show different trend from LED_1 to LED_3. It is related with the carrier density in active region. Thus, from the results of experiments, we are able to achieve high performance LEDs and a reduction of efficiency droop and emission wavelength blueshift by optimizing MQWs structure.
