324 nm Light Emitting Diodes With MilliWatt Powers : Semiconductors

Light emitting diodes with peak emission at 324 nm were fabricated over low-defect density n+-Al0.2Ga0.8N buffer layers. The AlGaN buffer layers were deposited over sapphire using strain-relieving AlN/AlGaN superlattices. Pulsed powers as high as 4 mW were measured for a pump current of 900 mA.
