Summary:In this study, deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) with different chip sidewall geometries (CSGs) are investigated. The structure had two types of chip sidewall designs that combined DUV LEDs with the same p-GaN thickness. By comparing the differences of the characteristics such as the external quantum efficiency droops, light output power, light extraction efficiency (LEE), and junction temperature of these DUV LEDs, the self-heated effect and light-tracing simulation results have been clearly demonstrated to explain the inclined sidewalls that provide more possibility pathway for photons escape to increase the LEE of LEDs; thus, the DUV LEDs with the CSG presented improved performance. These results demonstrate the potential of CSG for DUV LED applications.
