Abstract
Current crowding problem generally occurs in conventional III-nitride light emission diodes (LEDs) due to design geometry.
This problem give rises to unequal heating and unequal light emission from LED dice. Current crowding problem can be
reduced by using multi-finger design, where active area of LED device is divided into two portions and thus total emission
from device increases. By delta doping we can reduce, current crowding problem in conventional III-nitride LEDs design.
Current crowding problem vanishes almost in multi-fingered design with delta doped layer..
