Definitions

- a light-emitting diode is a semiconductor light-emitting device that converts an electrical current to light.
- the wavelength of light emitted from the LED is determined depending on a semiconductor material used to fabricate the LED.

- FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a lateral type light-emitting device according to a first embodiment.
- FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a vertical type light-emitting device according to a second embodiment.
- the lateral type light-emitting device includes a substrate 10 , an undoped gallium nitride (GaN) layer 24 on the substrate 10 , a light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 on the undoped GaN layer 24 , and an ohmic contact layer 30 on the light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 .
- GaN gallium nitride
- the light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 includes a first conductive type semiconductor layer 23 , an active layer 22 , and a second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 .
- the light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 may be formed of GaN-based materials.
- the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 may be a p-type semiconductor layer.
- the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 may be an n-type semiconductor layer.
- a first electrode layer 110 may be formed on the first conductive type semiconductor layer 23
- a second electrode layer 120 may be formed on the ohmic contact layer 30 .
- a GaN-based material layer including the undoped GaN layer 24 and the light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 grows on the substrate 10 .
- the substrate 10 may employ a sapphire substrate of which a refractive index is lower than that of the GaN-based material layer. Since the GaN-based material layer has a thickness of about 5 ⁇ m, it may be regarded as a waveguide structure having a variety of higher modes.
- the ohmic contact layer 30 is formed on the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 .
- the ohmic contact layer 30 may include a transparent electrode formed of indium tin oxide (ITO) or the like.
- the maximum etchable depth equals to the sum of thicknesses of both the ohmic contact layer 30 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 .
- the sum of the thicknesses of the ohmic contact layer 30 and the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 is in a range of 100 nm to 300 nm. Accordingly, the etchable depth is limited to the range of 100 nm to 300 nm so that it is difficult to form the photonic crystal 40 with good light extraction efficiency.
- the vertical type light-emitting device includes a second electrode layer 50 , and a light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 on the second electrode layer 50 .
- the light-emitting semiconductor layer 20 includes a first conductive type semiconductor layer 23 , an active layer 22 , and a second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 .
- a first electrode layer may be formed on the first conductive type semiconductor layer 23 so as to supply a power to the active layer 22 together with the second electrode layer 50 .
- a GaN-based material layer is formed on the substrate, and thereafter the substrate is removed through a laser absorption method.
- the second electrode layer 50 provided with multi-layered thin films is formed under the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 .
- the second electrode layer 50 may act as a reflection layer and an electrode at the same time.
- the second electrode layer 50 may have a multilayered stricture configured with an ohmic contact layer, a reflection layer and a conductive substrate, or may include a metal such as nickel (Ni) and silver (Ag).
- the second electrode layer 50 is formed by removing the substrate, which differs from the lateral type light-emitting device.
- the vertical type light-emitting device has such an advantageous merit that the photonic crystal 40 allowing light extraction efficiency to be increased can be easily introduced because the first conductive type semiconductor layer 23 is disposed on the active layer 22 .
- the n-type GaN layer formed on the active layer 22 is formed thicker than the p-type GaN layer, and thus the maximum etchable depth is great when introducing the photonic crystal 40 .
- the fact the maximum etchable depth is great provides an advantage that it is less restrictive to form the photonic crystal 40 .
- the vertical type light-emitting device has such a characteristic that a distance between the active layer 22 and the second electrode layer 50 is shorter than the wavelength of light emitted from the active layer 22 .
- the vertical type light-emitting device has a characteristic that the thickness of the second conductive type semiconductor layer 21 is shorter than the wavelength of light.
- the active layer 22 is disposed in the vicinity of the second electrode layer 50 , it is possible to control a radiation pattern using the reflective behavior of the second electrode layer 50 , and to improve the light extraction efficiency as well.
- the light extraction efficiency is closely related to diffraction efficiency.
- the diffraction efficiency may be changed due to a lattice constant of a unit pattern in the photonic crystal 40 having a hole or pillar structure, e.g., structural factors such as a size (diameter) of the unit pattern, a depth or height of the unit pattern, and an arrangement of the unit patterns in a plane.
- FIGS. 3 to 7 are views illustrating the arrangement of unit patterns having a hole structure or a pillar structure in a plane.
- FIG. 3 illustrates that a plurality of unit patterns 41 are arranged in the shape of a rectangular lattice.
- FIG. 4 illustrates that a plurality of unit patterns 41 are arranged in the shape of a triangle lattice.
- FIG. 5 illustrates that a plurality of unit patterns 41 are arranged in the shape of an Archimedean lattice.
- FIG. 6 illustrates that a plurality of unit patterns 41 are arranged pseudo-randomly where an average distance between the plurality of unit patterns 41 is constant.
- FIG. 7 illustrates that a plurality of unit patterns 41 are randomly arranged.
- the arrangement of the unit patterns 41 in a plane as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 affects the diffraction efficiency, leading to a change in light extraction efficiency.
- FIGS. 8 to 10 are graphs showing simulation results of light extraction efficiency while varying structural factors of the vertical type light-emitting device as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- the unit patterns 41 i.e., a lattice constant is changed under the condition that a hole of which a radius is 250 nm and a depth is 225 nm is used as the unit pattern 41 , it can be observed that the maximum light extraction efficiency can be achieved at around 800 nm. At this time, the relative enhancement of the light extraction efficiency is up to about 2 times.
- the etch depth is limited to a range of 100 nm to 300 nm in the lateral type light-emitting device of FIG. 1 , the light extraction efficiency may be decreased when a lattice constant is 1,000 nm or more.
- the etch depth of a hole can be increased to 450 nm or more in the vertical type light-emitting device of FIG. 2 , and thus the light extraction efficiency is not greatly decreased although the lattice constant (a) is changed.
