Strong Enhancement in Light Output of GaN-Based LEDs With Graded-Refractive-Index ITO Deposited on Textured V-Shaped Pits

Abstract: An interesting structure of GaN-based lightemitting diodes (LEDs) with different indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films deposited on naturally textured V-shaped pits (V-pits) is fabricated and studied. The sputtered ITO assists the textured surface to get a better contact and thus reduces the forward voltage. Moreover, the ITO films prepared by different methods can serve as graded-refractive-index antireflective coatings, which can enhance the performance of the V-pits LED further. The results show that the V-pits LED … Show more

“…To this end, the photon escaped from the gallium nitride (GaN) sidewall can be increased by reducing the TIR, thereby realizing the improvement of light extraction efficiency (LEE) and light efficiency [14][15][16]. Several advantageous approaches have been put forward to increase the LEE, such as patterned sapphire substrates [17][18][19], textured surfaces [19][20][21][22], SiO 2 MS/MP [9,23,24], composite transparent conductive layer [5,25], microlens array [26,27], and photon crystals [16,28,29]. Meanwhile, the LEE can be improved by roughening the bottom [30] or sidewalls of the LED.…”

“…Later in 1991, Nakamura [6,7] used the Two-flow Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (TF-MOCVD) growth method to substantially increase the quality of MBE crystals, and successfully produced the first blue LED with a luminance of 1000 mcd in 1993 [8]. This breakthrough pushed the value of GaN to a new level [9,10]. Not only does GaN have the advantage of being a direct band gap material, it can be used with InN (2.0 eV) and AlN (6.2 eV) to form ternary and quaternary compounds and extend its direct band gap range to 1.95 -6.2 eV with the corresponding wavelength extensions from the green frequency range to that of ultraviolet frequencies, allowing it to be used for expanded applications.…”
