The gallium nitride (GaN) µLED is a prime candidate to meet the specifications of new augmented reality applications and could also find its place in a wider range of applications in the longer term. However, the high perimeter-to-surface ratio of µLEDs makes them very sensitive to edge defects generated by pixelation etching. Therefore, passivation post-treatment steps of the µLEDs sidewalls must be implemented and optimized in order to minimize the decrease in efficiency that inorganic µLEDs are facing more generally. This constitutes the problematic of this thesis, dealing more specifically with GaN/InGaN blue µLEDs.First, this thesis has attempted to identify the most promising path for the passivation of GaN µLEDs from the literature. ...
