Design of Surface Textures for High Light Extraction Efficiency GaN-based Flip-chip TFLEDs
Light extraction efficiency (LEE) of flip-chip thin-film LEDs (FC-TFLEDs) with different surface textures were performed by using finite difference time domain method. The surface textures and different thicknesses of p-GaN layer were optimized for high LEE FC-TFLEDs. It is found that the maximum LEE of FC-TFLEDs with photonic crystals and hexagonal cones is 1.56 and 1.97 times to that of FC-TFLEDs with flat surface
respectively. Both types of the surface textures can improve the LEE of FC-TFLEDs
however
it is much difficult to obtain high LEE FC-TFLEDs by employing photonic crystals. The simulated results show that the LEE of FC-TFLEDs is effectively improved by the use of the hexagonal cones
in addition
it can greatly reduce the difficulty in LED material growth and device fabrication.
