Title: Recent advances in nitride-based blue/green/ultraviolet light-emitting diodes
Abstract: 

Nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have attracted considerable interest for their applications in solid state lighting, automotive front lighting, and full-colour displays because of their high luminous efficiency, low energy consumption, long operation lifetime, and broad spectral range spanning from ultraviolet to red wavelengths. However, the poor internal quantum efficiency and low light extraction efficiency constitute the bottlenecks in realizing high performance devices. This talk will outline the emerging challenges in the design and fabrication of micro/nano-structures for improving light extraction efficiency of GaN-based blue/green/ultraviolet LEDs. Recent advances from our group in developing light-out coupling micro/nano-structures, such as nanometer-scale V-pits, 3D patterned dual-layer ITO, nanoscale patterned sapphire substrate, wavy sidewall, sidewall nano-prisms, embedded air voids, microstructured SiO2array, and metal wire gird transparent conductive electrode will be discussed. Moreover, the recent development in fabricating flip-chip LED, vertical LEDs, and Mini-LEDs will also be introduced.
