Item Open Access P-doping-free InGaN/GaN light-emitting diode driven by three-dimensional hole gas(2013) Zhang, Z.-H.; Tiam Tan, S.; Kyaw, Z.; Liu W.; Ji, Y.; Ju, Z.; Zhang X.; Wei Sun X.; Volkan Demir H.Here, GaN/AlxGa1-xN heterostructures with a graded AlN composition, completely lacking external p-doping, are designed and grown using metal-organic-chemical-vapour deposition (MOCVD) system to realize three-dimensional hole gas (3DHG). The existence of the 3DHG is confirmed by capacitance-voltage measurements. Based on this design, a p-doping-free InGaN/GaN light-emitting diode (LED) driven by the 3DHG is proposed and grown using MOCVD. The electroluminescence, which is attributed to the radiative recombination of injected electrons and holes in InGaN/GaN quantum wells, is observed from the fabricated p-doping-free devices. These results suggest that the 3DHG can be an alternative hole source for InGaN/GaN LEDs besides common Mg dopants. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
