Abstract
The enhancement of the external efficiency of III-nitride light emitting diodes (LED) using photonic crystals (PC) under current injection was studied. Electron-beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma dry etching were used to pattern triangular arrays of the PCs with diameter/periodicity of 300/700 nm. Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was used to grow III-nitride materials on sapphire substrates. The results show that the total power at 20 mA of 300×300 μm 2 unpackaged LED chips revealed an increase by 63% and 95% for the blue and UV LEDs.
