Abstract

To improve the external quantum efficiency, high quality GaN film was grown on hemispherical patterned sapphire by controlling the V/III ratio during the initial growth stage. The luminous intensity of white flash light emitting diode (LED) grown on hemispherical patterned sapphire (HPS) was estinated to be 5.8 cd at a forward current of 150 mA, which is improved by 20 % more than that of LED grown on conventional sapphire substrate. The improvement of luminous intensity was explained by considering not only an increase of the extraction efficiency via the suppressed total internal reflection at the corrugated interface but also a decrease of dislocation density.
