The size of V pits varied from 57 to 250 nm. Two different-size LEDs (10 and 300 µm) were fabricated with flip-chip structures. It was shown that at 4 A cm^−2, the forward voltages of 300 µm-size and 10 µm-size LEDs were in the range of 2.32–2.82 V and 2.23–2.53 V, respectively. Compared with the LEDs with small V pits, the LEDs with large V pits produced higher output power at the high current region (>50 A cm^−2), but lower output power at the low current region (<20 A cm^−2). The 300 µm-size LEDs displayed maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) at 2 A cm^−2, whereas the 10 µm-size LEDs exhibited peak EQE at current densities  ≥13 A cm^−2. For all samples, the electroluminescence (EL) wavelengths were blue shifted with increasing current density. Unlike the 300 µm-size LEDs, the 10 µm-size LEDs exhibited a large deviation in the light output, EQE, and EL wavelength. The 10 µm-size LEDs revealed larger S than the 300 µm-size LEDs. The backscattered electron (BSE) and monochromatic cathodoluminescence (CL) results showed that for all samples, V pits were unevenly distributed across the whole wafer. Based on the CL and BSE results, the effect of different V pit sizes on the performance of green micro-LEDs at the low current region is described and discussed., ファイル公開:2021-01-23}, title = {Effect of unevenly-distributed V pits on the optical and electrical characteristics of green micro-light emitting diode}, volume = {53}, year = {2020} }
