Japanese Researchers Use Sputtering Method to form GaN LEDs on Glass Substrate

A team of researchers in Japan have developed a new technology for creating GaN LEDs on glass substrate, according to Japanese media source Nikkei Technology. 

Headed by Professor Hiroshi Fujioka from the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo, the team’s development can not only cut manufacturing costs, but also help to actualize OLED light panels.

A sputtering method is used to transcribe the GaN LEDs onto the glass substrate. The team has not yet measures luminous efficiency or external quantum efficiency for any single color. They are currently testing the efficiency of the internal quantum at low temperatures, according to Nikkei. 

“The internal quantum efficiency is several tens of percent lower than that of an LED formed on a sapphire substrate,” said Fukioka.
