Abstract

We use Patterned Sapphire Substrate (PSS) to obtain the completed mesa-type Light-Emitting Diode (LEDs). It can reduce the threading dislocation densities. In addition, we use textured silicon nitride (Si3N4) to replace silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is commonly used, as a barrier to form a patterned sapphire substrate. After re-growing, we observe that the air voids exist on the top of the textured Si3N4 intermediate layer. The air voids help more light be extracted to the outside due to the total reflection and thus enhance the light extraction efficiency of light-emitting diodes. Additionally, we use temperature dependent PL results to estimate the Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE) of PSS-LED and that of PSS-LED with embedded air void. While the IQE of PSS-LED is 8.87%, the other present is 11.29 % and the PL intensity of PSS-LED with embedded air voids is 1.27 times higher than PSS-LED. Finally, we performed optical simulation by TracePro. It also reveals that the Light Extraction Efficiency (LEE) of PSS-LED with embedded air voids is 1.44 times better than that of the PSS-LED.
