This paper reports on the effect of Ni particle structures on the light extraction in 600 nm AlGaInP light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A Ni film was deposited on top of a gallium phosphide (GaP) layer and the surface texture was improved by an ammonia (NH 3 ) plasma etching process into a chamber resulting in the formation of Ni particles with an average size of 10 nm. AlGaInP LED with the Ni particle shows an increase in the light extraction by 75% and a higher emission intensity with a percentage increase of 112.5% as compared with the conventional AlGaInP LEDs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
