Diffusion of Magnesium in Led Structures with InGaN/GaN Quantum Wells at True Growth Temperatures 860–980°C of p-GaN

Resumo

The results of an investigation of Mg diffusion in blue LED structures with InGaN/GaN quantum wells are presented for various growth temperatures of the p-GaN layer. The values of the diffusion coefficient estimated for true growth temperatures of 860, 910, and 980°C were 7.5·10^–17, 2.8·10^–16, and 1.2·10^–15 cm²/s, respectively. The temperature values given in the work were measured on the surface of the growing layer in situ using a pyrometer. The calculated activation energy for the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient was 2.8 eV.
