Abstract
The high-power AlGaInP light-emitting diodes (LED) fabricated on Cu substrates were analyzed. The indium-tin-oxide as the diffusion barrier layer was used to bond the AlGaInP LED structure to a Cu substrate. It was shown that Cu-substrate-bonded LED devices could be operated in a much higher injection forward current, 800 mA. The results show that the luminous intensity of the Cu-substrate LEDs could reach as high as 1230 mcd, which is three times higher than that of the GaAs substrate LEDs.
