Via-hole-based vertical GaN light emitting diodes

Abstract: A vertical GaN-light emitting diode (LED) has been fabricated on a sapphire substrate with periodic via holes formed by a laser drilling technique. n-contact metal which was deposited on the backside of sapphire substrate was directly connected with an Ohmic metal of n-GaN layer through the via holes. The via-hole-based vertical GaN-LED demonstrated an optical power improvement of up to 12.5% with lower forward operating voltage compared with a conventional GaN-LED. In addition, this vertical LED showed just 0… Show more

“…However, using electroplating technology adds an extra process to LED manufacturing because laser lift-off (LLO) technology must be used, causing LED manufacturers have low throughput, low yield, and high cost. Therefore, previous studies have used a laser drilling methods to replace the LLO method in GaN-based LED manufacturing [5,6].…”

“…In this letter, the through-hole technique, which is widely applied in integrated circuit (IC), was utilized in our vertical structure of GaN-based LED on the Si substrate. A via-hole-based vertical LED structure on the sapphire substrate was reported by Jung et al 11) Because sapphire is an insulating material, and it cannot be etched by dry or wet etching. To form via-holes, the sapphire substrate was punched through using highpower laser drilling technology.…”

“…17,18 However, the laser lift-off, one of the critical fabrication processes in vertical structure LED, has been proven to have low yield due to strain-induced cracks. 15,[19][20][21] To overcome these problems, flip-chip technology is brought up as a practical approach to satisfy heat dissipation of LEDs. [22][23][24][25][26][27] The formation of p-type electrode with low specific contact resistance and high reflectance is especially crucial for the realization of highly efficient flip-chip LEDs (FCLEDs).…”
