Abstract:
The field of AlGaInN ultraviolet UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is reviewed, with a summary of the state-of-the-art in device performance and enumeration of applications. Performance-limiting factors for high-efficiency UV LEDs are identified and recent advances in the development of deep UV emitters are presented.
