Abstract

An InGaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diode (LED) containing a GaN/AlGaN distributed Bragg reflector has been grown on a sapphire substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Comparing with the conventional LED, the output power has been improved from 79 to 120 μW under 20 mA direct current biasing condition and the external quantum efficiency has been also improved from 0.16% to 0.23% under 10 mA dc current.
