Abstract:	A novel idea of graded band gap design in intrinsic-layer is proposed and studied numerically. We built our device model by using Matlab (R) coding and commercial software APSYS (R). The device performance is calculated by continuity equations, and effective band gap model. The final calculation shows the optimal efficiency enhancement is about 1.32 and 2.18 times of the non-grading band gap device in GaAs and GaN system, respectively.
