Biasing of P-N Junction01:16

Biasing of P-N Junction

2.1K
The operation of a p-n junction diode involves various biasing conditions, including forward bias, reverse bias, and equilibrium.
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...

P-N junction

1.4K
A p-n junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are joined together. At the interface of the p-n junction, holes from the p-side and electrons from the n-side begin to diffuse into the opposite sides due to the concentration gradient. This diffusion of carriers leads to a region around the junction where there are no free charge carriers, known as the depletion region. The charge density within the depletion region for the n-side and p-side can be described by the...

    Area of Science:

    • Solid-state lighting
    • Optoelectronics
    • Semiconductor devices

    Background:

    • Commercial LEDs often operate in the droop regime (~35 A/cm²) to minimize chip size.
    • Low current density (J ≈ 1-5 A/cm²) operation offers advantages like droop loss mitigation and reduced voltage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the design space for high light extraction efficiency (LEE) at low current densities.
    • To present a novel LED design optimized for low J operation and high LEE.

    Main Methods:

    • Detailed ray tracing simulations were employed to design the LED.
    • Experimental realization and characterization of the designed LED were performed.

    Main Results:

    • Simulated LEE reached approximately 94%.
    • Experimental results showed a peak wall-plug efficiency of 78.1% at 3.45 A/cm².
    • An output power of 7.2 mW was achieved from a 0.1 mm² emitting area.

    Conclusions:

    • Low current density operation is a viable strategy for high-efficiency LEDs.
    • The photon voltage exceeding the forward voltage (Vp/V = 103%) at peak efficiency indicates superior performance.
