Characteristics of Micro LEDs With Snowflake p-Electrode and Composite Textured Sidewalls

Abstract

We demonstrate a hybrid structure incorporating concave-convex circular composite textured sidewalls and snowflake-like p-electrode, which is an effective approach to improve optical properties without deteriorating the electrical characteristics for micro-LEDs. Compared to the device with flat sidewalls and disk p-electrode, the device with concave-convex circular composite textured sidewalls and 6-branches snowflake-like p-electrode exhibits a saturation light output power enhancement of 36.85%. And the forward voltage decreases by 7.6% at current density of 1732.4 A/cm2. The enhanced performances are mainly attributed to the decrease of total internal reflection at the concave-convex circular composite textured sidewalls and improvement of current distribution provided by 6-branches snowflake-like p-electrode.
