Tunnel junction enhanced nanowire ultraviolet light emitting diodes

Journal Article Sarwar, A. T. M. Golam [Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210 (United States)]; May, Brelon J.; Deitz, Julia I.; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Polarization engineered interband tunnel junctions (TJs) are integrated in nanowire ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs). A ∼6 V reduction in turn-on voltage is achieved by the integration of tunnel junction at the base of polarization doped nanowire UV LEDs. Moreover, efficient hole injection into the nanowire LEDs leads to suppressed efficiency droop in TJ integrated nanowire LEDs. The combination of both reduced bias voltage and increased hole injection increases the wall plug efficiency in these devices. More than 100 μW of UV emission at ∼310 nm is measured with external quantum efficiency in the range of 4–6 m%. The realization of tunnel junctionmore »« less

InGaN based micro light emitting diodes featuring a buried GaN tunnel junction

Journal Article Malinverni, M., E-mail: marco.malinverni@epfl.ch; Martin, D.; Grandjean, N. [ICMP, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015 Lausanne (Switzerland)] - Applied Physics Letters

GaN tunnel junctions (TJs) are grown by ammonia molecular beam epitaxy. High doping levels are achieved with a net acceptor concentration close to ∼10{sup 20 }cm{sup −3}, thanks to the low growth temperature. This allows for the realization of p-n junctions with ultrathin depletion width enabling efficient interband tunneling. n-p-n structures featuring such a TJ exhibit low leakage current densities, e.g., <5 × 10{sup −5} A cm{sup −2} at reverse bias of 10 V. Under forward bias, the voltage is 3.3 V and 4.8 V for current densities of 20 A cm{sup −2} and 2000 A cm{sup −2}, respectively. The specific series resistance of the whole device ismore »« less

Electrical spin injection into GaAs based light emitting diodes using perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction-type spin injector

Journal Article Tao, B. S. [Institut Jean Lamour, UMR 7198, CNRS-Université de Lorraine, BP 70239, 54506 Vandoeuvre (France); Beijing National Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190 (China)]; Barate, P.; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Remanent electrical spin injection into an InGaAs/GaAs based quantum well light emitting diode is realized by using a perpendicularly magnetized MgO/CoFeB/Ta/CoFeB/MgO spin injector. We demonstrate that the Ta interlayer plays an important role to establish the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and the thickness of Ta interlayer determines the type of exchange coupling between the two adjacent CoFeB layers. They are ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically coupled for a Ta thickness of 0.5 nm or 0.75 nm, respectively. A circular polarized electroluminescence (P{sub c}) of about 10% is obtained at low temperature and at zero magnetic field. The direction of the electrically injected spins is determinedmore »« less
