In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis shows the P-type GaAjAi layer thickness, and the vertical axis shows the luminescence layer 4Jk. According to this, it can be seen that the thickness of the P-type GaAAAs layer 1-2 peaks at 15 μm and decreases on both sides. This is because the decrease in efficiency at 15 μm or less is due to interfacial recombination, and the decrease in efficiency at 15 μm or more is due to the 1-1 interface of 1-2, that is, the 1-1 interface of 1-4.
This is thought to be due to the fact that the S ratio becomes higher and the lattice mismatch with the substrate 1-1 becomes larger. Therefore, for a highly efficient element, the average value of l-2 is 2% or more when the thickness is 10 μm to 30 μm, and close to the average wax height (3oA) when the thickness is 12 μm to 23 μm (90 μm or more). jii(
