Introduction • Compared to InGaN-based LEDs, AlGaN LEDs may be subject to more severe self-heating due to higher operation voltage and lower radiative efficiency. The poor electrical conductivity of AlGaN materials was found to exacerbate the current crowding and localized heating problems. • In this paper, we report on the temperature-dependent performance of state-of-the-art AlGaN-based LEDswith different Al contents. In contrast to dominant localized stated emission in InGaN LEDs, the UV emission is mainly caused by band-to-band transition, and much more sensitive tothe junction temperature due to smaller carrier-confining and localization potentials.
