Abstract

We have fabricated ZnSe p-n junction LEDs with a new structure of Pt/p-ZnSe/n-ZnSe/n-GaAs. The dopant used for n-type ZnSe was Cl, and p-type ZnSe:N was formed by nitrogen radical doping. The LEDs exhibited good rectification properties. We have found that electroluminescence at 77 K was dominated by recombination emission between free electrons and acceptor holes at 2.705 eV. Increasing the temperature, recombination emission between donor electrons and free holes dominated blue bandedge emission region.
