Abstract
This study presents an optimized design of green-emitting Micro-LED structures, using numerical simulations to elucidate the pivotal role of the Micro-LEDs with the pre-well and pre-layer configuration in alleviating polarization-related electric fields and promoting energy band flattening. The simulation quantitatively demonstrates the structure's effectiveness in enhancing wave function overlap and radiative recombination efficiency. These insights provide a robust theoretical foundation for the experimentally observed enhancements in external quantum efficiency, wavelength stability, and high-speed modulation performance of the optimized devices.
