  • Analysis of LED performance metrics.

    • Main Results:

    • Low threading dislocation (TD) densities were observed in GaN films on PSS.
    • Higher fill factors of PSS correlated with better electrostatic discharge (ESD) yield.
    • Decreasing growth rates led to reduced dislocation densities.
    • LED performance was simultaneously influenced by PSS slanted angle and fill factor.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimized GaN growth on PSS, considering growth rate and substrate morphology, enhances LED performance.
    • Reduced dislocations and specific PSS features are critical for improved ESD yield and overall device function.
    • The study provides insights into tailoring GaN epitaxy on PSS for advanced LED applications.
