Influence of Architecture-Controlled GaN Rod Arrays on the Output Power of GaN LEDs

Abstract

We report the influence of controlled lengths and densities of GaN rod arrays on the output power of GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The morphology-controlled GaN rod arrays are fabricated via using ZnO rod arrays as a dry etching mask. Our investigation indicates that the output power of GaN LEDs has a strong dependence on the lengths and densities of GaN rod arrays. The variation of output power of GaN LEDs with GaN rod arrays is caused by the Fabry-Pérot resonance of the film composed by GaN rod arrays. The theoretical analysis also shows a good agreement with the measurement results.
