Increasing emission power and efficiency in green light emitting diodes is one of the big challenges towards all-solid-state lighting. The prime challenge lies in the combination of extension of wavelength from 470 nm blue to 525 nm green while maintaining the emission power level. Commonly a steep decrease in power is observed. In a broad development effort we have been able to ameliorate that decrease significantly and obtain bare die performance at 525 nm of 1.6 mW at 20 mA for 350x350 mum2 dies. Here we discuss critical die performance and wafer yield aspects of our optimization approach to the active layer of the GaInN/GaN quantum wells.
