Abstract
The efficiency of a conventional light emitting diode (LED) is limited by coupling of light into guided modes in the structure. Several methods to increase the extraction efficiency of nitride-based LEDs are studied from the perspective of the patterned structures in LEDs. The patterned structures are made in the interface between a semiconductor and a sapphire substrate and on the surface of a semiconductor or an indium tin oxide electrode. All of these approaches show an increased light output compared to that of reference samples, which means these kinds of scattering sources are inevitable to make a highly efficient light emitter in nitride-based semiconductor system.
