Abstract

A method for forming efficient, ultrathin GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and for their assembly onto foreign substances is reported. The LEDs have lateral dimensions ranging from â̂1 mm × 1 mm to â̂25 μm × 25 μm. Quantitative experimental and theoretical studies show the benefits of small device geometry on thermal management, for both continuous and pulsed-mode operation, the latter of which suggests the potential use of these technologies in bio-integrated contexts.
