InGaN quantum dots (QDs) have attracted significant attention as a promising material for high-efficiency micro-LEDs. In this study, plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) was used to grow self-assembled InGaN QDs for the fabrication of green micro-LEDs. The InGaN QDs exhibited a high density of over 3.0 × 10 cm, along with good dispersion and uniform size distribution. Micro-LEDs based on QDs with side lengths of the square mesa of 4, 8, 10, and 20 μm were prepared. Attributed to the shielding effect of QDs on the polarized field, luminescence tests indicated that InGaN QDs micro-LEDs exhibited excellent wavelength stability with increasing injection current density. The micro-LEDs with a side length of 8 μm showed a shift of 16.9 nm in the peak of emission wavelength as the injection current increased from 1 A/cm to 1000 A/cm. Furthermore, InGaN QDs micro-LEDs maintained good performance stability with decreasing platform size at low current density. The EQE peak of the 8 μm micro-LEDs is 0.42%, which is 91% of the EQE peak of the 20 µm devices. This phenomenon can be attributed to the confinement effect of QDs on carriers, which is significant for the development of full-color micro-LED displays.
氮化铟镓量子点(QDs)作为一种用于高效微型发光二极管(micro-LED)的有前途的材料,已引起了广泛关注。在本研究中,采用等离子体辅助分子束外延(PA-MBE)生长自组装氮化铟镓量子点,用于制造绿色微型发光二极管。氮化铟镓量子点表现出超过3.0×10¹⁰cm⁻²的高密度,以及良好的分散性和均匀的尺寸分布。制备了基于边长为4、8、10和20μm的方形台面量子点的微型发光二极管。由于量子点对极化场的屏蔽作用,发光测试表明,随着注入电流密度的增加,氮化铟镓量子点微型发光二极管表现出优异的波长稳定性。当注入电流从1A/cm²增加到1000A/cm²时,边长为8μm的微型发光二极管的发射波长峰值偏移了16.9nm。此外,在低电流密度下,随着平台尺寸的减小,氮化铟镓量子点微型发光二极管保持了良好的性能稳定性。8μm微型发光二极管的外量子效率(EQE)峰值为0.42%,是20μm器件EQE峰值的91%。这种现象可归因于量子点对载流子的限制效应,这对全彩微型发光二极管显示器的发展具有重要意义。
