Popis: In this study, we develop a novel way to fabricate InGaN/GaN LED chips with special shape for improving the output power. Crack-free shaped GaN islands were first prepared on c-axis sapphire substrate by using HVPE selective area growth. By doing so, GaN islands with flat top surface and inclined side faces are obtained. Then, the InGaN/GaN LED structure was grown on the top surface of the GaN island subsequently. The output powers of the p-side up and the p-side down shaped LED chip are 1.4 and 2.2 times the output power of the cubic chip, respectively. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
