Abstract
We will give an overview of different concepts to increase the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a focus on thin-film flip-chip (TFFC) devices. Optical simulations show that a TFFC design can greatly improve the LEE with a transparent p-side, reflective contacts, and optimized surface roughening. We will demonstrate UVB-emitting TFFC LEDs based on our fabrication platform for AlGaN thin films with high aluminum content. The fabrication is compatible with a standard LED process and uses substrate removal based on selective electrochemical etching as the key enabling technology.
