Micron-sized patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) are used to improve the performance of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the growth of GaN is initiated not only from the bottom c-plane but also from the sidewall of the micron-sized patterns. Therefore, the coalescence of these GaN crystals creates irregular voids. In this study, two kinds of nucleation layers (NL)—ex-situ AlN NL and in-situ GaN NL—were used, and the growth of sidewall GaN was successfully suppressed in both systems by modifying the micron-sized PSS surface.

The flat-top pyramid patterned sapphire substrates (FTP-PSSs) have been prepared for the growth of GaN epilayers and the fabrication of lateral-type light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an emission wavelength of approximately 470 nm. Three kinds of FTP-PSSs, which were denoted as FTP-PSS-A, FTP-PSS-B, and FTP-PSS-C, respectively, were formed through the sequential wet etching processes. The diameters of circle areas on the top regions of these three FTP-PSSs were 1, 2, and 3 μm, respectively. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, the full-width at half-maximum values of rocking curves at (002) plane for the GaN epilayers grown on conventional sapphire substrate (CSS), FTP-PSS-A, FTP-PSS-B, and FTP-PSS-C were 412, 238, 346, and 357 arcsec, while these values at (102) plane were 593, 327, 352, and 372 arcsec, respectively. The SpeCLED-Ratro simulation results reveal that the LED prepared on FTP-PSS-A has the highest light extraction efficiency than that of the other devices. At an injection current of 350 mA, the output powers of LEDs fabricated on CSS, FTP-PSS-A, FTP-PSS-B, and FTP-PSS-C were 157, 254, 241, and 233 mW, respectively. The results indicate that both the crystal quality of GaN epilayer and the light extraction of LED can be improved via the use of FTP-PSS, especially for the FTP-PSS-A.

InGaN/GaN multiquantum well (MQW) structures have been grown on cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrates (CPSS) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). From the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results, we found that most of the threading dislocations (TDs) in the trench region of the CPSS were bent by lateral growth mode. Also the staircase-like TDs were observed near the slant region of the cone pattern, they converged at the slope of the cone patterned region by staircase-upward propagation, which seems to effectively prevent TDs from vertical propagation in the trench region. The associated dislocation runs up into the overgrown GaN layer and MQW, and some (a+c) dislocations were shown to decompose inside the multi-quantum well, giving rise to a misfit segment in the c-plane and a V-shape defect. From cross-sectional TEM, we found that all V defects are not always connected with TDs at their bottom, some V defects are generated from the stacking mismatch boundaries induced by stacking faults which are formed within the MQW due to the strain relaxation.

In this study, the authors report that GaN-based LEDs prepared on 1.2μm, 1.4μm, and 1.7μm height of cone-shaped patterned sapphire substrates (CSPSS) with the formation of air voids at GaN/cone-shaped-patterned-sapphire-substrate interface by laser scribing and lateral etching with one-step MOCVD growth. With CSPSS, it can be seen that output powers were all significantly larger than that of LED with flat substrate (FS). Assisted by 20 min lateral etching, it was found that peripheral pyramid-like air-voids were formed on top of each cone of the CSPSS with 1.7μm height and the light output power increased by 13.8%, compared with the result of the CSPSS with 1.2μm height. Furthermore, it was also found that output power of LED prepared on 1.7μm height of CSPSS with 20 min lateral etching was 6.2 and 3.1% larger than those of LEDs prepared on 1.2μm and 1.4μm height of CSPSS with 20 min lateral etching, respectively.
