Abstract EN
This study investigates an aluminum nitride (AlN) nanorod structure sputtered by glancing angle deposition (GLAD) and its application as a buffer layer for GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are fabricated on sapphire substrates.
The ray tracing method is adopted with a three-dimensional model in TracePro software.
Simulation results indicate that the zigzag AlN nanorod structure is an optimal buffer layer in a GaN-based LED.
Furthermore, the light output power of a GaN-based LED with a zigzag AlN nanorod structure improves to as much as 28.6% at a forward current of 20 mA over that of the GaN-based LED with a normal AlN buffer layer.
