AlGaNDoping
13
doping efficiencies are lower than in GaN
doping ability decreases with increasing Al content
n and p-doping
p-doping is difficultN-vacancies act as compensating centerlow hole concentrationionization energy of Mg increases with increasing Al content

AlGaN UV-LED vs. mercury lamps
18
AlGaN UV-LEDefficiency: 5-15 %
lifetime: 15000 h
output power: 30 mW
no environmental pollution by UV-LEDUV-LED need no time to warm upwide range of wavelength available
Hg low pressure lampefficiency: 40 %
lifetime: 16000 h
output power: 4 W

AlGaNConclusion
19
growth of AlGaN is challengingcracking and defects
poor doping efficiencies = poor carrier injection
poor electrical conductivity
light emission is weakstill research necessary to improve efficiency
ButUV- LEDs are the future for several applications and will replacemercury lamps
