Abstract
We here demonstrate thin-film flip-chip (TFFC) ultraviolet-B light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fabricated by a standard LED process and followed by a substrate removal based on selective electrochemical etching of an n-doped multilayered Al0.11Ga0.89N/Al0.37Ga0.63N sacrificial layer. The integration of the LEDs to a Si carrier using thermocompression bonding allowed roughening of the N-polar AlGaN side of the TFFC LEDs using TMAH-etching, which increased the light extraction efficiency by approximately 45% without negatively affecting the I-V-characteristics. This resulted in an optical output power of 0.47 mW at 10 mA for an LED with a p-contact area of 0.03 mm2.
