Popis: The electroluminescence (EL) spectral intensity has been investigated in the high-brightness green InGaN multiple-quantum-well light emitting diode (LED) in comparison with the single-quantum-well LED over a wide temperature range and as a function of injection current. It is found that the EL variation pattern with temperature and current is dramatically improved when the number of active wells increases as a result of enhanced carrier capture. The importance of vertical carrier capture processes is pointed out to explain the anomalous EL intensity variations at low temperatures. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
