Biasing of P-N Junction

Biasing of P-N Junction

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...

Background:

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) approach theoretical external quantum efficiency (EQE) limits.
Further improvements require novel optical designs like microcavities or dipole orientation tuning.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance the performance of quantum rod light-emitting diodes (QR-LEDs).
To address carrier leakage issues in conventional QR-LED structures.
To explore the potential of anisotropic nanocrystals in LED applications.

Main Methods:

Achieved high in-plane dipole orientation (82%) in red rod-in-rod quantum rods (QRs) via shape-induced horizontal self-alignment.
Utilized an equivalent circuit model to identify and illustrate carrier leakage impacts.
Transformed QR-LED device structure to balance carrier injection and suppress leakage.

Main Results:

Developed red QR-LEDs with a peak EQE of 31% and 110,000 cd/m² luminance.
Demonstrated green dot-in-rod QR-LEDs with a peak EQE of 20.2% and 250,000 cd/m² luminance.
Successfully suppressed carrier leakage and improved carrier injection simultaneously.

Conclusions:

Shape-induced self-alignment and device redesign are effective strategies for enhancing QR-LED performance.
This work provides a pathway for improving LED performance using anisotropic nanocrystals.
The developed QR-LEDs show significant potential for next-generation display technologies.
