A Substrate-Reclamation Technology for GaN-Based Lighting-Emitting Diodes Wafer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study reports on the use of a substrate-reclamation technology for a gallium nitride (GaN)-based lighting-emitting diode (LED) wafer. There are many ways to reclaim sapphire substrates of scrap LED wafers. Compared with a common substrate-reclamation method based on chemical mechanical polishing, this research technology exhibits simple process procedures, without impairing the surface morphology and thickness of the sapphire substrate, as well as the capability of an almost unlimited reclamation cycle. The optical performances of LEDs on non-reclaimed and reclaimed substrates were consistent for 28.37 and 27.69 mcd, respectively.

Vertical Thinking in Blue Light Emitting Diodes: GaN-on-Graphene Technology
In this work, we show that a 2D cleave layer (such as epitaxial graphene on SiC) can be used for precise release of GaNbased light emitting diodes (LEDs) from the LED-substrate interface. We demonstrate the thinnest GaN-based blue LED and report on the initial electrical and optical characteristics. Our LED device employs vertical architecture: promising excellent current spreading, improved he...
متن کاملLess strained and more efficient GaN light-emitting diodes with embedded silica hollow nanospheres
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) become an attractive alternative to conventional light sources due to high efficiency and long lifetime. However, different material properties between GaN and sapphire cause several problems such as high defect density in GaN, serious wafer bowing, particularly in large-area wafers, and poor light extraction of GaN-based LEDs. Here, we suggest a new growth strategy...

Solid state lighting seeks to replace both, incandescent and fluorescent lighting by energy efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Just like compact fluorescent tubes, current white LEDs employ costly rare earth-based phosphors, a drawback we propose to overcome with direct emitting LEDs of all colors. We show the benefits of homoepitaxial LEDs on bulk GaN substrate for wavelength-stable green...

GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated on sapphire substrates were successfully transferred onto silicon substrates using a double-transfer technique. Compared with the conventional LEDs on sapphire, the transferred LEDs showed a significant improvement in the light extraction and thermal dissipation, which should be mainly attributed to the removal of sapphire and the good thermal c...
