AbstractIn this paper, we report the development of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LEDs by rf plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) emitting between 277 and 300 nm. Some of these devices were evaluated after fabrication at bare-die and some at wafer-level configurations. Devices with total optical output of 1.3 mW at injection current of 200 mA were produced, with maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.16%. These performance values are equivalent to those reported for deep UV-LEDs grown by the Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method and measured at bare-die configuration. In parallel, we have evaluated the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of AlGaN quantum wells, and found that such wells emitting at 250 nm have an IQE of 50%. From the analysis of these data, we concluded that the efficiency of deep UV LEDs is not limited by the IQE but by the light extraction efficiency, injection efficiency or a combination of both.

Ammonia is investigated as nitrogen precursor for molecular beam epitaxy of group III nitrides. With the particular on-surface cracking approach, NH3 is dissociated directly on the growing surface. By this technique, molecular beam epitaxy becomes a serious competitor to metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Thermodynamic calculations as well as experimental results reveal insights into the growth mechanisms and its differences to the conventional plasma approach. With this knowledge, homoepitaxially GaN can be grown with record linewidths of 0.5 meV in photoluminescence (4 K). GaN layers on c-plane sapphire also reveal reasonable material properties (photoluminescence linewidth 5 meV, n ≈ 1017 cm−3, μ ≈ 220 cm2/Vs). Beside GaN growth, p- and n-doping of GaN as well as the growth of ternary nitrides are discussed. Using the presented ammonia approach UV-LEDs emitting at 370 nm with linewidths as narrow as 12 nm have been achieved.
