Abstract
We report on the realization of a uniform array of electrically driven, individually addressable micro light-emitting diodes (
$\mu $
LEDs) with diameters of
$2.5~\mu \text{m}$
emitting at 372 nm. This highly ordered array was fabricated via a top-down fabrication approach using a novel Ni/Au/Ni structure which combines both a Ni/Au low-resistance electrical contact and durable Ni etch mask. The use of this novel structure allows individual
$\mu $
LEDs to be addressed with promising electroluminescence intensity and narrow linewidth at ultraviolet-A (UV-A) band. This improved control over
$\mu $
LED output power and emission location makes our approach an important step towards the development of high efficiency UV-A
$\mu $
LEDs for a range of applications.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
