Abstract

Deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (200–280 nm) have many potential applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, security, and tanning. But, the state-of-the-art LEDs suffer from low external quantum efficiency (< 20%). The external quantum efficiency is composed of internal quantum efficiency, injection efficiency, and the light extraction efficiency. These components are limited due to fundamental material and physics-based challenges. In this chapter, a set of novel heterostructure designs are presented to improve the individual efficiency components that compose the external quantum efficiency. Theoretical analysis followed by crystal growth and experimental data are presented showing enhancement of each efficiency components. Inclusion of such new design techniques will enhance the external quantum efficiency of deep-UV light emitters.
