Publication number: 20120049179Abstract: A method for enhancing light extraction efficiency of a group-III nitride-based light emitting device is disclosed. By roughening a n-type group-III nitride-based cladding layer or an undoped group-III nitride-based layer, a reflecting layer is formed. Because of gaps on the roughened surface, total internal reflection occurs, and light beams can be reflected back to a top surface of the light emitting device. Thus, the light extraction efficiency can be increased, and more light beams can be collected in a desired direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2010Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: WALSIN LIHWA CORPORATIONInventors: Ming-teng KUO, Jang-ho Chen, Ching-hwa Chang Jean
