Enhancement of flip-chip light-emitting diodes with omni-directional reflector and textured micropillar arrays

Abstract

The flip-chip light-emitting diodes (FC-LEDs) with a conductive omni-directional reflector and textured micropillar arrays were investigated. The micropillar arrays structure was formed on the bottom side of sapphire substrate by dry etching process to increase the light-extraction efficiency. The light output power of the FC-LED was increased by 65% for a 3.2-mu m textured micropillar on the bottom side of the sapphire substrate. Our work offers promising potential for enhancing output powers of commercial light-emitting devices.
