Problems solved by technology

However, the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of deep ultraviolet (DUV LEDs) is difficult to exceed 10%, and the technical indicators for large-scale commercialization and practicality cannot be achieved.
One of the main reasons for such a low LEE is that when the emission wavelength is lower than 280nm, the light output mode of the UV LED changes from the TE mode perpendicular to the epitaxial growth direction to the lateral light output parallel to the epitaxial growth direction. Total reflection occurs at the device interface, and most of the light is reflected to the p-type GaN and AlGaN layers in the UV LED structure and then absorbed and lost, resulting in a sudden drop in light extraction efficiency

Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional mercury lamps, AlGaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV LEDs) have many advantages, such as miniaturization, energy saving, environmental friendliness, and easy integration. With the continuous development of material epitaxy technology, the quality of AlGaN crystal has been continuously improved, so that the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of UV LED has exceeded 60%. However, the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of deep ultraviolet (DUV LEDs) is difficult to exceed 10%, and cannot reach the technical indicators of large-scale commercialization and practicality. One of the main reasons for such a low LEE is that when the emission wavelength is lower than 280nm, the UV LED l...
