The light output power (LOP) of vertical-type GaN-based light emitting diodes (LED) with surface roughness (texture) can be changed by texture size, density, and thickness of GaN film or by the combined effects of texture formation and thickness of GaN film. We have investigated these changes experimentally and note that the enhancement of the LOP by a factor of 2.4 can be improved with optimum texturing parameters as compared to that without texturing. In addition, the LOP of GaN-based LEDs under the same texture density increase slightly as thickness of GaN film decreases. Base on these results, we have evidently demonstrated that the enhancement factors of LOP are related to the correlation between texture size (density) and thickness of GaN film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
