Investigation of Electrical Properties and Reliability of GaN-Based Micro-LEDs.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we report high-performance Micro-LEDs on sapphire substrates, with pixel size scaling to 20 µm and an ultra-high current density of 9902 A/cm2. The forward voltages (VF) of the devices ranged from 2.32 V to 2.39 V under an injection current density of 10 A/cm2. The size and structure-dependent effects were subsequently investigated to optimize the device design. The reliability of Micro-LED devices was evaluated under long-aging, high-temperature, and high-humidity conditions. It was found that Micro-LED devices can maintain comparable performance with an emission wavelength of about 445 nm and a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 22 nm under extreme environments. Following this, specific analysis with four detailed factors of forward voltage, forward current, slope, and leakage current was carried out in order to show the influence of the different environments on different aspects of the devices.

Wavelength tunable InGaN/GaN nano-ring LEDs via nano-sphere lithography.

Project description:In this research, nano-ring light-emitting diodes (NRLEDs) with different wall width (120 nm, 80 nm and 40 nm) were fabricated by specialized nano-sphere lithography technology. Through the thinned wall, the effective bandgaps of nano-ring LEDs can be precisely tuned by reducing the strain inside the active region. Photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL measurements indicated the lattice-mismatch induced strain inside the active region was relaxed when the wall width is reduced. Through the simulation, we can understand the strain distribution of active region inside NRLEDs. The simulation results not only revealed the exact distribution of strain but also predicted the trend of wavelength-shifted behavior of NRLEDs. Finally, the NRLEDs devices with four-color emission on the same wafer were demonstrated.

Investigation of AlGaN/GaN HFET and VO2 Thin Film Based Deflection Transducers Embedded in GaN Microcantilevers.

Project description:The static and dynamic deflection transducing performances of piezotransistive AlGaN/GaN heterojunction field effect transistors (HFET) and piezoresistive VO2 thin films, fabricated on GaN microcantilevers of similar dimensions, were investigated. Deflection sensitivities were tuned with the gate bias and operating temperature for embedded AlGaN/GaN HFET and VO2 thin film transducers, respectively. The GaN microcantilevers were excited with a piezoactuator in their linear and nonlinear oscillation regions of the fundamental oscillatory mode. In the linear regime, the maximum deflection sensitivity of piezotransistive AlGaN/GaN HFET reached up to a 0.5% change in applied drain voltage, while the responsivity of the piezoresistive VO2 thin film based deflection transducer reached a maximum value of 0.36% change in applied drain current. The effects of the gate bias and the operation temperature on nonlinear behaviors of the microcantilevers were also experimentally examined. Static deflection sensitivity measurements demonstrated a large change of 16% in drain-source resistance of the AlGaN/GaN HFET, and a similarly high 11% change in drain-source resistance in the VO2 thin film, corresponding to a 10 ?m downward step bending of the cantilever free end.

Crystal Quality and Light Output Power of GaN-Based LEDs Grown on Concave Patterned Sapphire Substrate.

Project description:The crystal quality and light output power of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on concave patterned sapphire substrate (CPSS) were investigated. It was found that the crystal quality of GaN-based LEDs grown on CPSS improved with the decrease of the pattern space (percentage of c-plane). However, when the pattern space decreased to 0.41 μm (S0.41-GaN), the GaN crystallinity dropped. On the other hand, the light output power of GaN-based LEDs was increased with the decrease of the pattern space due to the change of the light extraction efficiency.

Anthracene-Based Fluorophore and Its Re(I) Complexes: Investigation of Electrical Properties and Schottky Diode Behavior.

Project description:A novel fluorophore (HL) [1-((E)-(quinolin-8-ylimino)methyl)anthracen-2-ol] using a suitably designed anthrol and quinoline derivative was synthesized and well characterized. Then, two Re(I) complexes with the fac-[Re(CO)3] + moiety were prepared with the ligand under different reaction conditions. Both the complexes [Re(L)(CO)3] (1) and [Re(HL)(CO)3Cl] (2) absorbed in the visible region. Steady-state fluorescence measurements and time-correlated single-photon count experiments were performed to elucidate the nature of the excited state. The ground- and excited-state geometries were theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The electrical properties of the ligand and the complexes have been explored with the help of a sandwich-structured thin-film device of an Al/sample/indium tin oxide (ITO) configuration at room temperature. The thermionic emission (TE) theory was adopted for the extraction of Schottky diode parameters such as ideality factor, barrier height, and series resistance. Further, the space-charge-limited current (SCLC) theory was employed for a better understanding of the charge transport phenomenon.

High Modulation Bandwidth of Semipolar (11-22) InGaN/GaN LEDs with Long Wavelength Emission.

Project description:Visible light communication requires III-nitride LEDs with a high modulation bandwidth but have c-plane limitations. General illumination requires green/yellow III-nitride LEDs with high optical efficiency that are difficult to achieve on c-plane substrates. Micro-LEDs with a low efficiency are used to obtain a high modulation bandwidth. This paper demonstrates a record modulation bandwidth of 540 MHz for our semipolar green LEDs with a broad area. Semipolar yellow and amber LEDs with modulation bandwidths of 350 and 140 MHz, respectively, have also been reported, and are the longest wavelength III-nitride LEDs. These results agree with differential carrier lifetime measurements.

Flexible polyimide-based hybrid opto-electric neural interface with 16 channels of micro-LEDs and electrodes.

Project description:In this paper, a polyimide-based flexible device that integrates 16 micro-LEDs and 16 IrO x -modified microelectrodes for synchronous photostimulation and neural signal recording is presented. The 4?×?4 micro-LEDs (dimensions of 220?×?270?×?50??m3, 700??m pitch) are fixed in the SU-8 fence structure on a polyimide substrate and connected to the leads via a wire-bonding method. The recording electrodes share a similar fabrication process on the polyimide with 16 microelectrode sites (200??m in diameter and 700??m in pitch) modified by iridium oxide (IrO x ). These two subparts can be aligned with alignment holes and glued back-to-back by epoxy, which ensures that the light from the LEDs passes through the corresponding holes that are evenly distributed around the recording sites. The long-term electrical and optical stabilities of the device are verified using a soaking test for 3 months, and the thermal property is specifically studied with different duty cycles, voltages, and frequencies. Additionally, the electrochemical results prove the reliability of the IrO x -modified microelectrodes after repeated pressing or friction. To evaluate the tradeoff between flexibility and strength, two microelectrode arrays with thicknesses of 5 and 10??m are evaluated through simulation and experiment. The proposed device can be a useful mapping optogenetics tool for neuroscience studies in small (rats and mice) and large animal subjects and ultimately in nonhuman primates.

Ultralow threading dislocation density in GaN epilayer on near-strain-free GaN compliant buffer layer and its applications in hetero-epitaxial LEDs.

Project description:High threading dislocation (TD) density in GaN-based devices is a long unresolved problem because of the large lattice mismatch between GaN and the substrate, which causes a major obstacle for the further improvement of next-generation high-efficiency solid-state lighting and high-power electronics. Here, we report InGaN/GaN LEDs with ultralow TD density and improved efficiency on a sapphire substrate, on which a near strain-free GaN compliant buffer layer was grown by remote plasma atomic layer deposition. This "compliant" buffer layer is capable of relaxing strain due to the absorption of misfit dislocations in a region within ~10 nm from the interface, leading to a high-quality overlying GaN epilayer with an unusual TD density as low as 2.2 × 10(5) cm(-2). In addition, this GaN compliant buffer layer exhibits excellent uniformity up to a 6" wafer, revealing a promising means to realize large-area GaN hetero-epitaxy for efficient LEDs and high-power transistors.

Investigation of the Electrical Properties of Microtubule Ensembles under Cell-Like Conditions.

Project description:Microtubules are hollow cylindrical polymers composed of the highly negatively-charged (~23e), high dipole moment (1750 D) protein α, β- tubulin. While the roles of microtubules in chromosomal segregation, macromolecular transport, and cell migration are relatively well-understood, studies on the electrical properties of microtubules have only recently gained strong interest. Here, we show that while microtubules at physiological concentrations increase solution capacitance, free tubulin has no appreciable effect. Further, we observed a decrease in electrical resistance of solution, with charge transport peaking between 20-60 Hz in the presence of microtubules, consistent with recent findings that microtubules exhibit electric oscillations at such low frequencies. We were able to quantify the capacitance and resistance of the microtubules (MT) network at physiological tubulin concentrations to be 1.27 × 10-5 F and 9.74 × 104 Ω. Our results show that in addition to macromolecular transport, microtubules also act as charge storage devices through counterionic condensation across a broad frequency spectrum. We conclude with a hypothesis of an electrically tunable cytoskeleton where the dielectric properties of tubulin are polymerisation-state dependent.

Monolithically integrated white light LEDs on (11-22) semi-polar GaN templates.

Project description:Carrier transport issues in a (11-22) semi-polar GaN based white light emitting diode (consisting of yellow and blue emissions) have been investigated by detailed simulations, demonstrating that the growth order of yellow and blue InGaN quantum wells plays a critically important role in achieving white emission. The growth order needs to be yellow InGaN quantum wells first and then a blue InGaN quantum well after the growth of n-type GaN. The fundamental reason is due to the poor hole concentration distribution across the whole InGaN quantum well region. In order to effectively capture holes in both the yellow InGaN quantum wells and the blue InGaN quantum well, a thin GaN spacer has been introduced prior to the blue InGaN quantum well. The detailed simulations of the band diagram and the hole concentration distribution across the yellow and the blue quantum wells have been conducted, showing that the thin GaN spacer can effectively balance the hole concentration between the yellow and the blue InGaN quantum wells, eventually determining their relative intensity between the yellow and the blue emissions. Based on this simulation, we have demonstrated a monolithically multi-colour LED grown on our high quality semi-polar (11-22) GaN templates.

Growing GaN LEDs on amorphous SiC buffer with variable C/Si compositions.

Project description:The epitaxy of high-power gallium nitride (GaN) light-emitting diode (LED) on amorphous silicon carbide (a-SixC(1-x)) buffer is demonstrated. The a-SixC(1-x) buffers with different nonstoichiometric C/Si composition ratios are synthesized on SiO2/Si substrate by using a low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The GaN LEDs on different SixC(1-x) buffers exhibit different EL and C-V characteristics because of the extended strain induced interfacial defects. The EL power decays when increasing the Si content of SixC(1-x) buffer. The C-rich SixC(1-x) favors the GaN epitaxy and enables the strain relaxation to suppress the probability of Auger recombination. When the SixC(1-x) buffer changes from Si-rich to C-rich condition, the EL peak wavelengh shifts from 446 nm to 450 nm. Moreover, the uniform distribution contour of EL intensity spreads between the anode and the cathode because the traping density of the interfacial defect gradually reduces. In comparison with the GaN LED grown on Si-rich SixC(1-x) buffer, the device deposited on C-rich SixC(1-x) buffer shows a lower turn-on voltage, a higher output power, an external quantum efficiency, and an efficiency droop of 2.48 V, 106 mW, 42.3%, and 7%, respectively.
