Porous Nitride Light-Emitting Diodes

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Nicolas Tappy, Nuno Amador Mendez

A porous InGaN/GaN blue light-emitting diode is demonstrated using selective area sublimation. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the structure is porous down to the Si substrate; however, the porosity is higher in the GaN buffer, while smaller ...
