Increase in the extraction efficiency of GaN-based light-emitting diodes via surface roughening

Roughened surfaces of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide substantial improvement in light extraction efficiency. By using the laser-lift-off technique followed by an anisotropic etching process to roughen the surface, an n-side-up GaN-based LED with a hexagonal “conelike” surface has been fabricated. The enhancement of the LED output power depends on the surface conditions. The output power of an optimally roughened surface LED shows a twofold to threefold increase compared to that of an LED before surface roughening.
