Paper Abstract
Photoluminescence (PL) technique has demonstrated the powerful capability for practical application to wafer
inspections in III-V compound semiconductor production. This paper describes the principle and the physics behind the
variation of PL wavelength with laser excitation power density. We discuss the effect of GaN cap thickness on the PL
measurements. This is especially relevant to LED manufacturers where thick GaN caps are commonly used and to PL
metrology of InGaN MQW laser structures. A methodology was proposed to select the most appropriate laser and set of
excitation conditions to achieve matching between PL and electroluminescence (EL) wavelengths for common Blue and
Green LED structures.
