III‐nitride nanowire based light emitting diodes on carbon paper

Abstract

This article presents the use of flexible carbon substrates for the growth of III‐nitride nanowire light emitters. A dense packing of gallium nitride nanowires were grown on a carbon paper substrate. The nanowires grew predominantly along the a‐plane direction, normal to the local surface of the carbon paper. Strong photo‐ and electro‐luminescence was observed from InGaN quantum well light emitting diode nanowires. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Recent Advances on III‐Nitride Nanowire Light Emitters on Foreign Substrates – Toward Flexible Photonics

“…The first approach to fabricate nanowire flexible photonics is by growing those III‐nitride nanowires directly on flexible substrates. Recently, direct growth of III‐nitride nanowires on carbon paper and functional AlGaN nanowire UV LEDs on Ta foils have been demonstrated. May et al reported a flexible UVLED by directly growing AlGaN nanowire on a flexible Ti foil, as shown in Figure (a,b).…”
