Abstract

We have investigated the effect of the embedded air prism (EAP) on enhancement of light output power of InGaN LED by the various distance ratios. The well-aligned EAP structure was uniformly formed by one step wet etching process on 2 in. sapphire substrate using specific SiO2 mask pattern. The LEDs with EAP structure significantly improved the optical power of LED by the light redirection toward front side and backside of LED. As a result, the optical powers of optimized EAP LED have been observed to be 2.16 times higher than that of the conventional LED at injection current of 20 mA..
