Abstract:
      Epitaxial growths of the GaAs/AlGaAs-based 940 nm infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) with dual junctions were carried out by using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with different doping concentrations and Al contents in AlxGa1-xAs compound. And their optoelectric properties show that the optimal design for tunneling region corresponds to P++ layer with hole concentration up to 1×1020 cm-3, N++ layer electron concentration up to 5×1019 cm-3 and constituent Al0.2Ga0.8As in the tunneling junction region. The optimized dual-junction LED has a forward bias of 2.93 V at an injection current of 50 mA, and its output power is 24.5 mW, which is 104% larger than that of the single junction (12 mW). Furthermore, the optimized device keeps the same spectral characteristics without introducing excessive voltage droop.
