GaN/In1−xGaxN/GaN/ZnO nanoarchitecture light emitting diode microarrays

Abstract

We studied the fabrication and electroluminescent (EL) characteristics of GaN/In1-xGaxN/GaN/ZnO nanoarchitecture light emitting diode (LED) microarrays consisting of position-controlled GaN/ZnO coaxial nanotube heterostructures. For the fabrication of nanoarchitecture LED arrays, n-GaN, GaN/In0.24Ga0.76N multiquantum well (MQW) structures and p-GaN layers were deposited coaxially over the entire surface of position-controlled ZnO nanotube arrays grown vertically on c-plane sapphire substrates. The nanoarchitecture LEDs exhibited strong green and blue emission from the GaN/GaN/In0.24Ga0.76N MQWs at room temperature. Furthermore, the origins of dominant EL peaks are also discussed.
