Optical and electrical characteristics of GaN vertical light emitting diode with current block layer

A GaN vertical light emitting diode(LED)with a current block layer(CBL)was investigated.Vertical LEDs without a CBL,with a non-ohmic contact CBL and with a silicon dioxide CBL were fabricated.Optical and electrical tests were carried out.The results show that the light output power of vertical LEDs with a non-ohmic contact CBL and with a silicon dioxide CBL are 40.6%and 60.7%higher than that of vertical LEDs without a CBL at 350 mA,respectively.The efficiencies of vertical LEDs without a CBL,with a non-ohmi...
