General theory of Auger recombination
K. A. Bulashevich and S. Y. Karpov, phys. stat. sol. (c) 5, 2066 (2008).
• GaN: indirect Auger dominates
• GaAs: phonon-assisted and direct Auger recombination of similar strength
• InAs: direct Auger dominates

Auger recombination in red LEDs
K. A. Bulashevich and S. Y. Karpov, phys. stat. sol. (c) 5, 2066 (2008).
• Auger recombination is as strong in red light emitters as it is in green
• But easily addressed in devices: increase the volume of the active layer!– More QWs– Wider QWs
• Lower carrier density less impact of Auger

responsible?• What are the rates?

Shockley-Read-Hall: nonradiative capture of carriers by defects
• First step to understand SRH: Calculate rate of nonradiativecapture at defects
• Given by: – Defect density ND, NA
– Carrier density n,p– Capture coefficient Cp, Cn
• Capture coefficient gives rate of capture of one carrier at one defect in a volume V: Cn/p = V r
• Capture due to change in electronic state due to electron-phonon coupling

For efficient Shockley-Read-Hall recombination needboth fast electron and hole capture.

– (+/0) defect level at ~1.0 eV above the valence band
fast hole capture slow electron capture
• In InGaN:– Smaller gap– Defect level closer to the conduction
band Increases rate of electron capture

• SRH rate is governed by slower of electron or hole capture process– Electron capture coefficient Cn
decreases exponentially with distance from the conduction band.
– Hole capture coefficient Cpdecreases exponentially with distance from the valence band.
• Most efficient centers: level near midgap.

• Incorporate scandium?– Scandium: the “other” group-III element,
at the start of the transition metals– Recent work on ScAlN– ScP: rocksalt structure. But low-Sc alloys with
GaP or AlP would be zincblende.» S. Benalia et al., Mater. Sci. Semi. Proc. 31, 493 (2015).
