In the same Epitaxy conduction, we designed three different depth Patterned Sapphire Substrates (2.55um, 2.65um, 2.75um). All of them are period of 3um and hexagonal arranged. We use Electroluminescence Measurement System with temperature controller to measure them from 5 ° C to 80 ° C and discuss their T-droop (The efficiency droop caused by increasing temperature) , and temperature tolerant. Moreover, we use the 266nm laser to do the Photoluminescence Measurement. After that, the sequence of the Epitaxy quality of them has been found. Consistent with the result measured by Electroluminescence Measurement System. It proves that LED with a better Epitaxy quality has a high temperature-tolerant.論文使用權限: 不同意授權氮化鎵類發光二極體圖案化藍寶石基板電子束微影微奈米結構效率衰減GaN-based Light-emitting diodesNano-Pattered Sapphire SubstratesMicro nanostructuresElectron-beam LithographyEfficiency Droop探討具不同深度之圖案化藍寶石基板上發光二極體於高溫操作下之效率衰減Investigation of temperature dependent efficiency droop for light-emitting diodes on patterned-sapphire substrates with various depthsthesis
