Conclusion When used a sawtooth-shaped EBL, the effective barrier height of the conduction band is increased and the barrier obstacle in the valence band for holes is mitigated due to the correctly modified energy band of the EBL. The electron confinement is enhanced and more holes can be transported from the p-type region into the MQW. This effect prevents electron leakage and improves the radiative recombination rate in the QW, leading to a significant improvement in IQE and light output power. 26
