InGaN/GaN multiple‐quantum‐well (MQW) light emitting diodes (LEDs) were deposited by metal–organic chemical vapour deposition on Si(111) substrate. In this paper, we present a study on the X‐ray diffraction (XRD), electroluminescence (EL), photoluminescence (PL), and current‐voltage ( I – V ) characteristics of the LEDs, fabricated at varied quantum well growth temperature T QW . PL intensity as well as XRD quantum well interface quality show moderate effects of structural defects within the MQW region on the internal quantum efficiency. A comparison between PL and EL intensity hints at severe losses of injected carriers within the low‐ T QW LEDs, being responsible for drastically decreased EL efficiencies. These could result from imperfection of the p‐AlGaN blocking layer on top of the MQW region, as deduced from additional information from the I – V characteristics.
