The external quantum efficiency of planar light-emitting diodes (LED's) can be increased significantly by the approach of a non-resonant cavity (NRC) LED, which consists of texturing the top surface and applying a rear reflector. We demonstrate this approach for the first time on 650-nm InGaP/AlInGaP LED's. The LED's are fabricated using the processing techniques developed previously for 860-nm GaAs/AlGaAs NRC-LED's, which include wet thermal oxidation for the formation of a current aperture. With un-encapsulated NRC-LED's, we report an external quantum efficiency of 24% for an emission wavelength of 655 nm. This is an 11-fold increase of the external quantum efficiency, as compared to conventional devices. Furthermore,, the efficiency is demonstrated to increase to 31% by on-wafer encapsulation of the LED's. This results in an optical output power of 4 mW for a drive current of 7 mA |
