Sidewall passivation using atomic layer deposition (ALD) can efficiently improve external quantum efficiency (EQE). Such treatment increases EQE, a combination of internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and light extraction efficiency (LEE), primarily by curtailing surface recombination according to the ABC model. Determined by the ratio of radiative recombination rate to total recombination rate, the IQE of an LED holds a significant correlation with the diode's ideality factor in the Shockley model. In this paper, we analysis the mechanism of ALD sidewall passivation enhancing device performance in detail from the aspects of electrical performance improvement and optical performance improvement.
