We demonstrate that the concave-convex circular composite structure sidewall prepared by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching is an effective approach to increase the light efficiency without deteriorating the electrical characteristics for micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The saturated light output power of the device using the concave-convex circular composite structure sidewalls with a radius of 2 μm is 39.75 mW, an improvement of 7.2% compared with that of the device using flat sidewalls. The enhanced light output characteristics are primarily attributed to the increased photon emitting due by decreasing the total internal reflection without losing the active region area.

The metal chloride doped graphene (D-G) enhanced the electrical properties of the light emitting diodes (LEDs). Therefore, avoiding the inductively coupled plasma etching step is better for D-G electrodes in GaN-based LEDs.

Various nanopatterns on the transparent conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) layer are investigated to enhance the light extraction efficiency of the InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Triangular, square, and circular nanohole patterns with the square and hexagonal lattices are fabricated on the ITO layer by an electron beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma dry etching processes. The circular hole pattern with a hexagonal geometry is found to be the most effective among the studied structures. Light output intensity measurements reveal that the circular hole nanopatterned ITO LEDs with a hexagonal lattice show up to 35.6% enhancement of output intensity compared to the sample without nanopatterns.

A novel design is proposed for n-electrode with holes to be applied in Thin-GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The influence of the n-electrode with holes on the thermal and electrical characteristics of a Thin-GaN LED chip is investigated using a three-dimensional numerical simulation. The variations in current density and temperature distributions in the active layer of n-electrodes both with and without holes are very tiny. The percentages of light output from these holes are 29.8% and 38.5% for cases with 5 μm holes and 10 μm holes, respectively; the side length of the n-electrode (L) is 200 μm. Furthermore, the percentage increases with the size of the n-electrode. Thus, the light output can be increased 2.45 times using the n-electrode with holes design. The wall-plug efficiency (WPE) can also be improved from 2.3% to 5.7%. The most appropriate n-electrode and hole sizes are determined by WPE analysis.
