Abstract(in English) 210-350nm-band high-efficiency ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDs) are very attractive light sources for the application to sterilization, medical fields etc. In this study, we realized high-power operations of AlGaN multi-quantum well (MQW) LEDs on high quality AlN/sapphire templates. We obtained significant increase of the 220nm-band emission from AlGaN MQW LEDs by reducing the quantum well thickness from 4nm to 1.5nm. We also introduced AlN electron blocking layer (EBL) in order to improve the electron injection efficiency by suppressing electron overflow. We revealed that the output power of the 250nm-band AlGaN LEDs was markedly increased by introducing AlN EBL. We obtained output power of 0.4mW and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.034% from 234nm AlGaN-MQW LED under room temperature (RT) continuous wave (CW) operation.
