Improvement in Light Extraction Efficiency of InGaN/GaN Blue Light Emitting Diodes Using Sidewall Texturing

摘要： Herein, we reported the effects of the geometric morphology of the sidewall on the extraction ef?ciency of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We performed numerical analysis based on the ray-tracing method. We found that the extraction ef?ciency of the LEDs increased with the texturing of the sidewall. The light output intensity of the LEDs (at an injection current of 100 mA) increased by 13.8% after sidewall texturing. These results con?rmed that the geometric morphology of the sidewall plays an important role in improving the extraction ef?ciency of LEDs.
