AlGaN-based germicidal UV LEDs show promise in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic through disinfection of air, water, and surfaces. We report UV LEDs grown by MOCVD on SiC substrates, fabricated into thin-film flip chip devices. Replacing the uniform p-AlxGa1-xN layer (x $=$ 0.2) with a short-period-superlattice of alternating (x $=$ 0.1 and 0.8) Al-composition improved EQE from 1.3% to 2.7% (3.2% with encapsulation) at 20 A/cm2. Peak EQE and WPE values of 4.8% and 2.8% (287 nm) were measured at current densities below 2 A/cm2, and maximum output power of 7.4 mW (76 mW/mm2) was achieved at 284 nm. Further WPE improvements are expected with both superlattice and uniform layer optimization, improved p-contact metallization, and active region optimization.
