100-lm/W InGaAlP Thin-Film Light-Emitting Diodes With Buried Microreflectors

Thin-film light-emitting diodes (LEDs) belong to the most successful LED concepts for achieving high efficiencies. The incorporation of buried microreflectors with inclined facets prevents the light generation under the top contact and bondpad and offers an additional light extraction scheme. As a result, an external quantum efficiency of 50% could be demonstrated at a wavelength of 650 nm, and a luminous efficiency of more than 100 lm/W could be achieved in the wavelength range from 595 to 620 nm     

Light Output Improvement of InGaN-Based Light-Emitting Diodes by Microchannel Structure

We propose a microchannel structure with deep holes to enhance the extraction efficiency of InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Two different depth microchannel LEDs are examined experimentally. One has air holes penetrated through the active layer and the other does not. It is found that the light extraction efficiency in the LED with the penetrated air holes is significant h larger than that in the LED without penetrating holes. The reason can be attributed to the microchannel waveguide behaviors. In comparison to the conventional LEDs, the light output power of our fabricated LEDs with and without penetrating holes improved by 43.5% and 5.1%, respectively.     

Improved Extraction Efficiency of Light-Emitting Diodes by Modifying Surface Roughness With Anodic Aluminum Oxide Film

An anodic alumina oxide (AAO) film with nano-roughening is added on the top window layer of AlGaInP light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to improve the light extraction of the device. The AAO film has a natural porosity to provide light scattering centers at the surface, allowing an increase of light emission intensity with no loss of or damage to the semiconductor material. Further, the fabricated AAO film with a refractive index is about which is intermediate between those of air and the window layer of GaP. By inserting this layer between the ambient and GaP, it broadens the critical angle for light emission and reduces internal reflection. Experiments with laboratory-fabricated AlGaInP devices of conventional design demonstrated a 32% improvement in the luminous intensity at 20 mA for the device with the AAO layer. This letter shows by theory and experiment that AAO films can be used as a low-cost, easily implemented surface nano-roughening for improving extraction efficiency of AlGaInP LEDs.     

Enhancing extraction efficiency from GaN-based LED by using an omni-directional reflector and photonic crystal

To enhance the light extraction efficiency of traditional light-emitting diodes（LEDs） by reducing the total internal reflection,an omni-directional reflector（ODR） and photonic crystal are adopted in the paper.The structures of photonic crystal and the ODR are designed by diffraction theory and finite difference time domain（FDTD） method.The photonic crystal is employed in the p-GaN layer and the ODR composed of TiO2/SiO2 is designed between the active region and substrate.The simulation results indicate that the light extraction of LEDs can be enhanced by 11.6 times,and the external quantum efficiency of LEDs will be effectively improved.     

Fabrication of Efficient Light-Emitting Diodes With a Self-Assembled Photonic Crystal Array of Polystyrene Nanoparticles

A low-cost method of fabricating large photonic crystal arrays of hexagonal posts without the use of lithography is described, along with an application of enhancing light extraction efficiency in semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Polystyrene spheres are deposited onto a wafer surface and then processed to achieve control over photonic crystal lattice properties in a method suitable for fast and repeatable patterning. The spheres serve as an etch mask to extend the photonic crystal formed into the semiconductor surface. This technique is applied to LEDs to increase the top surface light extraction, and 51% wall plug enhancement is demonstrated in deep junction liquid phase epitaxially grown LEDs with absorbing substrates, though is adaptable to any substrate and photonic crystal dimensions.     

Improved GaN-Based LED Light Extraction Efficiencies via Selective MOCVD Using Peripheral Microhole Arrays

GaN-based light-emitting diodes with peripheral microhole arrays (PMA-LEDs) have been grown, and fabricated, on SiO₂ hexagonal pattern masks using selective metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The PMA-LED structure promises to enhance the light extraction efficiency via simple fabrication processes, as compared to conventional LED structures. The geometrical shape of the peripheral microhole structure serves to enhance the light extraction efficiency due to the effect of the PMA in facilitating multiple chances for photons to escape. Thus, the light output intensity of PMA-LED was 30% higher than that of conventional LEDs.     

Nitride-Based Near-Ultraviolet Mesh MQW Light-Emitting Diodes

We have demonstrated nitride-based near-ultraviolet mesh multiquantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by etching through the MQW active region. With 20-mA injection current, it was found that forward voltages were 3.29, 3.31, and 3.38 V while output powers were 7.5, 9.0, and 11.3 mW for the planar indium-tin-oxide (ITO) LED, mesh ITO LED, and mesh MQW LED, respectively. The larger LED output power is attributed to the increased light extraction efficiency.     

Advantage of InGaN-based light-emitting diodes with trapezoidal electron blocking layer

In this study, a trapezoidal-shaped electron blocking layer is proposed to improve efficiency droop of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well light-emitting diodes. The energy band diagram, carrier distribution profile, electrostatic field, and electron current leakage are systematically investigated between two light-emitting diodes with different electron blocking layer structures. The simulation results show that, when traditional AlGaN electron blocking layer is replaced by trapezoidal-shaped electron blocking layer, the electron current leakage is dramatically reduced and the hole injection efficiency in markedly enhanced due to the better polarization match, the quantum-confined Stark effect is mitigated and the radiative recombination rate is increased in the active region subsequently, which are responsible for the alleviation of efficiency droop. The optical performance of light-emitting diodes with trapezoidal-shaped electron blocking layer is significantly improved when compared with its counterpart with traditional AlGaN electron blocking layer.     

GaN resonant cavity light-emitting diodes for plastic optical fiber applications

The optical designs of resonant GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been determined for maximum extraction efficiency into typical plastic optical fiber of numerical aperture 0.5. An optimum extraction efficiency of 3.9% can be achieved for a practical resonant cavity LED (RCLED), taking account of current growth and processing considerations. The optimized device is a metal-active layer distributed Bragg reflector construction. Constructive interference effects from the top metal mirror are found to play the dominant role in efficiency enhancement. The extraction efficiency of an optimized resonant single-mirror LED is found to be 3.3%, indicating a small compromise in performance compared with the more complex RCLED structure.
