Abstract

The emission efficiency of single and multiple quantum wells of InGaN based LED was compared by using standard industrial software, SILVACO/ATLAS. We found that the performance of multiple quantum LED decreases as the number of In0.13Ga0.87N quantum wells is increases. The simulation results suggest that the inhomogeneous distribution of carriers, particularly holes in the entire quantum wells (at higher number of In0.13Ga0.87N quantum well) is responsible for the reduction of the LED performance.
