Investigations of methods for texturing the light-emitting surface of IR light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (wavelength 850 nm) based on AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with Bragg reflectors have been carried out. Developed were methods of liquid and plasma-chemical etching of solid solution for creating peaks (pyramids) of different form, 0.2–1.5 µm height. Estimation of the effect of texturing methods and also configuration of peaks on the light-emitting diode electroluminescence intensity has been performed. The increase of the electroluminescence intensity by 25% has been achieved.
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.
