- Abstract
- We investigate the current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to analyze the additional voltage drop outside the active region. We theoretically examine and measure the short-circuit current versus the open-circuit voltage (ISC–VOC) obtained by photoexcitation and compare them with the I–V obtained by electrical injection. The ISC–VOC curve shows the ideal I–V characteristics that do not contain the deviation from the exponential behavior. In the ideality factor obtained by differentiating the ISC–VOC curve, the increase of ideality factor due to the series resistance is not observed. The slope of the additional voltage drop ΔV versus current curve shows a nonlinear behavior, indicating that a simple ohmic voltage drop is not sufficient to explain ΔV. From these observations, it is concluded that the carrier recombination in the active region plays a non-negligible role in I–V characteristics of LEDs deviating from the ideal behavior.
