Abstract
Efficiency of LEDs can be greatly improved by means of nano-patterning processes. LEDs grown on nano-imprint patterned sapphire substrates showed promising performance, with improvement in both internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency. As an alternative to nano-imprint lithography, this study utilized a simple method to generate irregular nano-patterns by a Ni self-assembly process and applied the process to both sapphire substrate and n-GaN template. In both approaches, the nano-patterned LEDs showed an improvement in light output power.
