Optimization of Resonant-cavity Effect and Photonic Crystals Structure for High Light Extraction Efficiency UV-A Vertical-structure LEDs
Optimization of LED epilayer and photonic crystals (PC) structure for high light extraction efficiency (LEE) UV-A vertical-structure LEDs (VS-LEDs) were performed by using finite difference time domain method. The LEE of the VS-LEDs was markedly enhanced by optimizing the thicknesses of p-GaN layer and parameters of PC structure. The LEE of the VS-LEDs shows cyclic variation as function of the thicknesses of p-GaN layer. It is showed that the LEE of the VS-LEDs with the p-GaN thickness of 200 nm is 4.8 times to that of the VS-LEDs with the p-GaN thickness of 310 nm. In addition
the thickness of the n-GaN layer and the surface photonic crystal structure were further optimized
and the LEE of the VS-LEDs with the p-GaN thickness of 200 nm and 310 nm reaches 35.3% and 24.7%
respectively. The optimized LEE of the VS-LEDs is 1.4 and 3.8 times to that of the VS-LEDs without PC structure
respectively. Therefore
the reasonable LED epilayer and the PC structure can effectively improve the LEE of the VS-LEDs. It provides a theoretical guide for the preparation of the UV-A VS-LEDs.
