This work found larger red chips exhibited lower forward voltages due to their lower series resistance originated from the device area. Moreover, a larger chip resulted in a longer emission wavelength, narrower full-width at half maximum (FWHM), and higher EQE at high currents. These characteristics are beneficial for InGaN-based red LEDs. On the other hand, smaller chips had merits of a high characteristic temperature of 399K. This characteristic temperature is almost similar level with the world record in AlGaInP-based red LEDs, suggesting that InGaN-based red LEDs with small chip sizes are good candidates for temperature tolerant lighting applications.
