  • Publication number: 20150311389
    Abstract: A nitride light-emitting diode including: a substrate with sub-micro patterns over the surface, which is divided into a growth region and a non-growth region; a growth blocking layer, formed in the non-growth region of the substrate for blocking epitaxial growth in the non-growth region of the substrate; a light-emitting epitaxial layer, comprising an n-type layer, a light-emitting layer and a p-type layer, formed in the growth region of the substrate, which extends to the non-growth region through lateral epitaxy and covers the growth blocking layer; wherein, the refractive index of the growth blocking layer is less than that of the light-emitting epitaxial layer and the growth blocking layer forms undulating morphology along the sub-micro patterns of the substrate, thus increasing light extraction interface of LED, generating refractive index difference between the light-emitting epitaxial layer and the light extraction interface and improving light extraction efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20150270439
    Abstract: An epitaxial structure of light emitting diode with a current modulation layer, and more specifically, a high-resistivity material is injected to change the current conduction path, and implementation of the main structure is to grow a high-resistivity material (e.g., InxAlyGa1-x-yN) over the N-type conductive layer or the P-type conductive layer till part of current conduction path is exposed through high-temperature H2 in-situ etching in the reacting furnace and to grow the N-type or the P-type conductive layer for coverage. This design for forming a current modulation layer without second epitaxial growth provides the injected current with a better spreading path in the N-type conductive layer and the P-type conductive layer, which more effectively and uniformly injects the current to the active layer and improves luminous efficiency.
