The implementation of subwavelength-scale nanorods on hexagonal pyramid structures significantly enhances light extraction efficiency in LEDs, demonstrating a 14% increase in light output power. This method offers a promising approach for improving the performance of optical devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the complexity of the fabrication process and the potential for increased standard deviation in nanorod diameter with thicker Ag layers, which could affect optical properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of subwavelength-scale nanorods on hexagonal pyramids of photochemically etched LEDs to enhance LEE. The process included Ag deposition and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
GaN-based LEDs were used, with samples prepared through photochemical etching in KOH solution followed by Ag deposition and ICP etching.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
