Deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV-C LEDs) are taking significant interest in varying applications such as disinfection and purification for air, water, and surface. Therefore, many reports have been published regarding the development and applications of UV-C LEDs, which have been adopted a home appliances recently. However, UV-C LEDs still have a number of challenges such as output power, cost, reliability, and manufacturability. In this talk, recent advances in epitaxial quality, device design, and reliability for high current driven UV-C LEDs will be presented.
