AlGaN/AlN multiple quantum wells using p-type Si as both the hole supplier and the
reflective layer are demonstrated. In addition to the description of the hole transport
mechanism that allows hole injection from p-type Si into the wide bandgap device, the
details of the LED structure which take advantage of the p-type Si layer as a reflective layer
to enhance light extraction efficiency (LEE) are elaborated. Fabricated LEDs were …
