Abstract
Recent advances in optimizing the efficiency and lifetime of far-UVC LEDs with emission wavelengths below 240 nm are presented. The design of the semiconductor heterostructure is considered as well as the chip layout. Cross-comparisons are used to draw general conclusions about degradation mechanisms in UV LEDs and to identify development strategies to minimize them. Furthermore, it is discussed which chip packaging is particularly suitable for a combination of far-UVC LEDs with spectral filters. Finally, far-UVC irradiation systems for skin-friendly irradiation of the human body are presented and their performance is illustrated with selected medical and biological data.
