An AlGaInP light-emitting diode (LED) with a Au/AuBe/SiO2/Si mirror substrate has been fabricated using wafer bonding. The bonded mirror-substrate LED is capable of emitting luminous intensity of 90 and 205 mcd under 20 and 50 mA injection, respectively. The emission wavelength was found to be independent of the injection current. This feature is attributed to the Si substrate providing a good heat sink.
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.
