Deskripsi

An auto-split laser lift-off (LLO) method for fabrication of vertical-injection GaN-based green light-emitting diodes (ASV-LEDs) is demonstrated. The ASV-LEDs exhibited a significant improvement in the light output and thermal dissipation, as compared with that of conventional LEDs on sapphire. The intrinsic physical mechanism of the auto-split LLO technique is studied by a Frank-Read dislocation clustering model. The laser energy density and mesa spacing are shown to be key factors in the auto-split LLO method. It is believed that this method offers an alternative way to fabricate high-performance GaN-based thin-film LEDs.
