Abstract
Group III nitride based light emitting diode (LED) structures include multiple quantum wells with barrier-well units that include Ill nitride interface layers. Each interface layer may have a thickness of no greater than about 30% of an adjacent well layer, and a comparatively low concentration of indium or aluminum. One or more interface layers may be present in a barrier-well unit. Multiple barrier-well units having different properties may be provided in a single active region.
