The comprehensive research and development of diamond LED can also be used at 400 °C high temperature

Luminous demonstration of diamond LED developed by the comprehensive research and development. Visible light is not the original ultraviolet ray, but visible light generated by angular defects or the like. The actual intensity (unit wavelength) is about 20 times the visible light.

The deep-UV LED developed this time uses a design of stacking a pin-structured diamond semiconductor on a 2 mm square diamond substrate. A deep ultraviolet ray having an emission wavelength of 235 nm is used. The output power when injecting 320mA current is 30μW. “It is close to the practical level” (School Researcher, Institute of Mathematical and Materials Chemistry, University of Tsukuba).

According to the Research Institute of Production, the LED has two major features: (1) the luminous efficiency continues to increase even when the large current is turned on, and (2) the high temperature resistance. For example, even if a current having a current density of more than 2000 A/cm 2 is turned on by an electrode having a diameter of 120 μm, the luminous efficiency does not reach saturation, but continues to rise. At present, the working current density of deep ultraviolet LEDs using competitive materials AlGaN-based semiconductors is about 500A/cm2.

In terms of high temperature resistance, even if the temperature is raised from room temperature to 420 ° C, the luminous intensity does not decrease, but continues to increase. Unlike ordinary LEDs, diamond LEDs use the principle of "exciton" as the principle of illumination. Excitons are electrons that move like particles? Hole pairs. However, under normal circumstances it is not heat resistant and most excitons will soon break down. The excitons generated by diamond LEDs are “very stable, even if they are not broken at a temperature of 600 °C” (Mr. Makino, a special researcher at the Department of Power and Energy Research, Research Institute of Energy Technology, ITRI). This is the reason for the high temperature resistance.

In the near future, a significant cost reduction will be achieved. Previously, the price of diamond used as a diamond LED backplane was very high, and only a diamond substrate of several mm square was obtained, which could not reach a practical level. In response to this, Makino said: "The technology of laminating polycrystalline diamond semiconductor films on silicon wafers is currently under development. The efficiency is only one digit lower than the LEDs developed this time. Due to the extremely common materials such as silicon and methane, If it is put into practical use, it can manufacture diamond LEDs at very low cost."
