Abstract

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on GaN/InGaN material suffer from efficiency droop at high current injection levels. We investigate the effect of Electron Blocking Layer (EBL) on Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE) in multiple quantum well (MQW) GaN/InGaN LEDs to reduce the efficiency droop. The simulation results reflect a significant improvement in the efficiency droop for the structure without any EBL..
