Micro-scale light emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) with ultra-low leakage current results from a sidewall passivation method for the micro-LEDs using a chemical treatment followed by conformal dielectric deposition, which reduces or eliminates sidewall damage and surface recombination, and the passivated micro-LEDs can achieve higher efficiency than micro-LEDs without sidewall treatments.
