摘要： We use a simple and controllable method to fabricate GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with 22° undercut sidewalls by the successful implementation of the inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE). Our experiment results show that the output powers of the LEDs with 22° undercut sidewalls are 34.8 mW under a 20-mA current injection, 6.75% higher than 32.6 mW, the output powers of the conventional LEDs under the same current injection.
