            Abstract : 
The experimental results of the fabricated LEDs with ∼22° undercut side walls are reported and the performance of the fabricated undercut side wall LEDs show ∼70 % enhancement in the light output. Nitride-based LEDs were achieved by controllable inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE).
