Abstract
We obtained the EL intensity enhancement by a factor of 1.3 with increasing of n-GaN thickness from 2 to 8 µm. We achieved a light output, forward voltage, FWHM and external quantum efficiency of 0.64 mW, 3.3 V, 59 nm, and 1.6% at 20 mA, respectively. Particularly, the wall plug efficiency was 1.0%, which is comparable with the state-of-the-art InGaN-based red LEDs. The reduction of the in-plane compressive stress by the GaN underlying layers appears to be crucial for enhancing the light output of InGaN-based red LEDs on conventional sapphire substrates.
