Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the flip-chip and thin-film types of GaN-based light-emitting diode (LED), which are used to produce devices with better light extraction efficiency and far-field distribution. Flip-chip LEDs (FCLEDs) with a micro-pillar array structure and FCLEDs with a geometric oblique sapphire structure are investigated. Thin-film LEDs (TFLEDs) are fabricated by a combination of wafer bonding and the laser lift-off technique, which are used to transfer the GaN epilayer to a more conductive substrate to give better thermal dissipation. GaN TFLEDs with a photonic crystal (PC) surface structure are demonstrated. This study examines the light extraction efficiency, directional far-field patterns, and polarization properties of GaN PC TFLEDs.
