History of the LEDHistory of the LED1907: Henry Joseph Round observed light emission
from inorganic matter if voltage is appliedi 1957 t i ti i d tsince1957: restriction on semiconductor
1961 R b t Bi d d G Pitt t t d1961: Robert Biard and Gary Pittman patented the first infrared LED based on GaAs
1962: Nick Holonyak Jr. (General Electrics) invent first practical LEDpractical LED
1972: M George Craford invented yellow LED

AlGaNAlGaNInfluence of the Al-contenton the band gap:
Slide: 1011/06/2012 Marcus Pohl
AlGaNAlGaNElectrical properties:• increase of resistivity with increasing Al-contenty g• increase of conductivity possible via doping
– p-type: Mgp type: Mg– n-type: Si
Slide: 1111/06/2012 Marcus Pohl
AlGaNAlGaNInfluence of Si-doping:• critical dopant concentration for Si at 1*1018 cm-3 in
case of Al-content above 0,4• doping with Si causes a shift of
the PL to longer and increasein intensity
Slide: 1211/06/2012 Marcus Pohl
AlGaNAlGaNDifficulty of p-doping:• emission wavelength higher as
b d i i d t b dband gap emission due to band-to-impurity transitions for e.g. Mgin case of low hole density• in case of low hole density electron flow into the p-layeriincreases
-> decrease of light-output
