Abstract:Challenges related to deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode substrates include material costs and lattice mismatch. Sapphire substrates are commonly used, although their high refractive index can result in the total internal reflection of light whereby some light is absorbed, reducing light extraction efficiency (LEE). In this study, we proposed an optimal thickness value of a sapphire substrate light guide layer through first-order optical design and used the optical simulation software Ansys SPEOS to assess … Show more
