Abstract
We have theoretically investigated the size-dependent optoelectronic properties of InGaP/AlGaInP-based red micro-LEDs through an electro-optical-thermal coupling model. The model considers thermal effects due to current crowding near the electrodes, non-thermal efficiency droop due to electron leakage, and etch defects on the LED sidewall. Sidewall defects reduce the carrier concentration at the light-emitting surface's edge and exacerbate the current crowding effect. In addition, p-side electron leakage at high current densities is the leading cause of the efficiency droop of AlGaInP LEDs. In contrast, the effect of temperature on the overall efficiency degradation of LEDs is even more significant.
