In this paper, by sping-coating a mono layer of nanospheres (nanoparticles) on top of the sample, the technology of nanosphere lithography is developed and applied to GaN based LED epistructures. By etching the p-type GaN further through the active region, p-i-n nanorods are exposed all over the mesa area. By inserting a spacer layer in between rods, nanrod LED arrays can be realized without shorting the p-type contact to n-GaN. The electrical and optical properties of the InGaN/GaN-based nanodevices are investigated at room temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
