We report on improved device performance of flip-chip (FC) GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) by combining patterned sapphire substrate (PSS) and thin-film techniques. It was found that an FC LED grown on a conventional planar sapphire exhibits a power enhancement factor of only 36.3% after the thin-film processes of substrate removal and surface roughening. In contrast, the as-fabricated FC LED grown on a PSS showed a power enhancement factor of up to 62.3% without any postprocess as compared with the light output power of an original conventional FC LED. Further intensity improvement to 74.4% could be achieved for the FC LED/PSS sample with the thin-film processes.
