Abstract:
Visible light communication requires III-nitride LEDs with a high modulation bandwidth but have c-plane limitations. General illumination requires green/yellow III-nitride LEDs with high optical efficiency that are difficult to achieve on c-plane substrates. Micro-LEDs with a low efficiency are used to obtain a high modulation bandwidth. This paper demonstrates a record modulation bandwidth of 540 MHz for our semipolar green LEDs with a broad area. Semipolar yellow and amber LEDs with modulation bandwidths of 350 and 140 MHz, respectively, have also been reported, and are the longest wavelength III-nitride LEDs. These results agree with differential carrier lifetime measurements.

Biasing of P-N Junction
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...

In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...
