Numerical analysis of planar light-emitting diode with designed p-electrode

Light-emitting diode (LED) with designed metal electrode to the top p-semiconductor layer is studied. Original numerical model and procedure are developed for the LED with nonuniform distributions of electrical and optical characteristics caused by the mesh-like configuration of the top electrode. The proposed approach can be used to optimize the LED ouput optical performance by proper choice of the geometrical parameters of the meshed electrode.
