3 BJT's, cont.: What about the collector doping, N DC? An effect we didn't put into our large signal model Base width modulation - the Early effect and Early voltage: The width of the depletion region at the B-C junction increases as v CE increases and the effective base width, w B,eff, gets smaller, thereby increasing β and, in turn, i C. B E n+ p n C Early effect Punch through w B,eff To minimize the Early effect we make N DC < N AB We will take this effect into account in our small signal LEC modeling. Punch through - base width modulation taken to the limit When the depletion region at the B-C junction extends all the way through the base to the emitter, I C increases uncontrolably. Punch through has a similar effect on the characteristics to that of Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 reverse breakdown of the B-C junction. Lecture 8 - Slide 3

13 Light emitting diodes: what they are all about The basic idea In Si p-n diodes and BJTs we make heavy use of the very long minority carrier lifetimes in silicon, but in LEDs we want all the excess carriers to recombination, and to do so creating a photon of light. We want asymmetrical long-base operation: n' large n' p, p' n p' n very small -w -x 0 x w p p n n x Why have people cared so much about LEDs? a cool, efficient source of light rugged with extremely long lifetimes can be turned on and off very quickly, and modulated at very high data rates Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 18

Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 19
15 Light emitting diodes: historical perspective LEDs are a very old device, and were the first commercial compound semiconductor devices in the marketplace. Red, amber, and green LEDs (but not blue) were sold in the 1960's, but the main opto research focus was on laser diodes; little LED research in universities was done for many years. Then things changed dramatically in the mid-1990's: In part because of new materials developed for red and blue lasers (AlInGaP/GaAs, GaInAlN/GaN) In part because of packaging innovations (Improved heat sinking and advanced reflector designs) In part due to advances in wafer bonding (Transparent substrates for improved light extraction) In part due to the diligence of LED researchers (Taking advantage of advances in other fields) Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 20
16 Light emitting diodes - design issues Significant challenges in making LEDs include: 1. Choosing the right semiconductor(s) - efficient radiative recombination of excess carriers - emission at the right wavelength (color) 2. Getting the light out of the semiconductor - overcoming total internal reflection and reabsorption 3. Packaging the diode - good light extraction and beam shaping - good heat sinking (for high intensity applications) Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 22
17 Compound Semiconductors: Diamond lattice (Si, Ge, C [diamond]) A wide variety of bandgaps. The majority are "direct gap" must for efficient optical emission).

19 Materials for Amber LEDs: GaAsP, AlInGaP, and GaP Modern AlInGaP amber LEDs grown latticematched on GaAs, and then transferred to GaP substrates - Kish, et al, APL 64 (1994) Early GaAsP amber LEDs grown on a linearly graded buffer on GaAs - Holonyak and Bevacqua, APL 1 (1962) 82. Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture Slide 2521
20 Materials for Green LEDs: GaP, InGaAlP The first green LEDs were GaP grown by liquid phase epitaxy on GaP substrates and based on N doping. N is an "isoelectronic" donor, with a very small E d. InGaAlP grown by MOCVD on GaAs substrates provide modern high brightness LEDs Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 26

22 Light emitting diodes: fighting total internal reflection With an index of refraction 3.5, the angle for total internal * reflection is only 16. (Only 2% gets out the top! ** ) Total internal reflection can be alleviated somewhat if the device is packaged in a domed shaped, high index plastic package: (With n dome = 2.2, 10% gets out the top! ** ) If the device is fabricated with a substrate that is transparent to the emitted radiation, then light can be extracted from the 4 sides and bottom of the device, as well as the top. Increases the extraction efficiency by a factor of 6! * Critical angle, θ c = sin -1 (n out /n in ), ** Fraction (sinθ c ) 2 /4 =(n out /2n in ) 2 Clif Fonstad, 10/6/09 Lecture 8 - Slide 28
