DBR design boosts flip-chip mini-LED efficiency
WHU team boosts efficiency of flip-chip blue mini-LEDs by designing multiple-stack distributed Bragg reflector
Researchers from Wuhan University and Guangdong Gancom Optoelectronics Technology in China have reported high-reflectivity multiple-stack Ti3O5/SiO2 DBRs to improve light output power (LOP) of GaN-based blue flip-chip (FC) mini-LEDs.
“Our multiple-stack DBR provides a promising strategy for realising efficient blue flip-chip mini-LEDs, which plays an important role in satisfying high dynamic range demand for next-generation display technology.” said Shengjun Zhou, a professor at Wuhan University who directed the research.
The researchers demonstrated a reflectivity optimisation strategy to construct high-reflectivity multiple-stack DBRs. By rationally designing the number of sub-DBRs and arranging central wavelength distribution of sub-DBRs, the photonic bandgap of sub-DBRs is overlapped and reflective bandwidth of multiple-stack DBRs are broaden, resulting in improved reflectivity and alleviated angular dependence.
Based on the reflectivity optimisation strategy, a quintuple-stack DBR with high reflectivity (>97.5 percent) and less angular dependence has been designed. In comparison with the full-angle DBR, the quintuple-stack DBR exhibits higher reflectivity at large angle incidence and thinner dielectric layer thickness.
Benefiting from superior reflective performance, the LOP of blue FC mini-LED with ITO/quintuple-stack DBR is enhanced by approximately 5.8 percent in comparison with that of blue FC mini-LED with ITO/full-angle DBR at 10 mA.

Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
