摘要
We report on the properties of green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a photonic crystal (PC) structure on p-GaN. A PC structure was fabricated by the selective area epitaxy of p-GaN using SiO(2) nanopillars. The electrical characteristics of LEDs with PC were not degraded and the optical output power of green LEDs with PC was increased by 70% at 20 mA of injection current compared with that of conventional LEDs without PC. This enhancement of optical output power was attributed to the improvement in light extraction efficiency by the SiO(2)/p-GaN PC layer on p-GaN. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
