AlxInyGa1-x-yN Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Triodes

Light-emitting triodes (LETs) have been the focus of a program of research with a goal of increasing the quantum efficiencies of ultraviolet-lightemitting devices implemented in the AlxInyGa1-x-yN (0 ≤ x+y ≤ 1) material system. Heretofore, AlxInyGa1-x-yN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have exhibited “efficiency droop” — decreasing quantum efficiency with increasing injection current. LETs can be used as means of studying and overcoming efficiency droop.
