Nanolithography For 3-Dimentional Nanostructures: Enhancement Of Light Output Power In Vertical Light Emitting Diodes
GALLIUM NITRIDE MATERIALS AND DEVICES VIII(2013)
摘要
We review the recent developments to enhance the external quantum efficiency (EQE) in GaN based vertical light-emitting diodes (V-LEDs). The controlling of side-wall angle by SiO2 nanosphere lithography significantly improved the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of V-LEDs; this result is 6% higher than the photo chemical etching (PCE) method, which is known to have the highest light extraction, and 300% higher than flat surface V-LEDs. Nanostructured V-LEDs with a very dense forest of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires on the surface of N-face n-GaN induce the dramtic improvement in LEE. The structural transformation at the nanolevel by the UV radiation and Ozone (UV-O) treatment contributes the high density of Zn seed on GaN, and then this approach shows an extreme enhancement in LEE (>2.8x) compared to flat V-LEDs. The enhanced LEE was also demonstrated by depositing a spontaneously formed MgO nanopyramids and ZnO refractive-index modulation layer on the surface of V-LEDs, resulting in the increase of output power by 49 %, comparing with the V-LEDs with a flat n-GaN surface. The enhancement of light output power by the nanotexturing of n-face n-GaN was remarkably influenced by 3-dimentional nanostructures.
