Electrically Driven Quantum Dot/Wire/Well Hybrid Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract

Electrically driven quantum dot, wire, and well hybrid light-emitting diodes are demonstrated by using nanometer-sized pyramid structures of GaN. InGaN quantum dots, wires, and wells are formed at the tops, edges, and sidewalls of pyramids, respectively. The hybrid light-emitting diodes containing low-dimensional quantum structures are good candidates for broad-band highly efficient visible lighting sources.
