The silica spheres acting as an etch mask are self-assembled into a hexagonal closed-packed monolayer array. After etching, the photonic crystal (PhC) pattern is formed across the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) films so that the semiconductor layers are left intact and thus free of etch damages. Despite slight degradation to the electrical properties, the ITO-PhC light-emitting diodes (LEDs) exhibit enhancements of their optical emission power by as much as 64% over an as-grown LED. The optical performances and mechanisms of the photonic crystal LEDs are investigated with the aid of rigorous coupled wave analysis and finite-difference time-domain simulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DOI:<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LED.2004.826541\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LED.2004.826541\"> <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/25\/255302\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/25\/255302\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi-org.eproxy.lib.hku.hk\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/35\/355203\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi-org.eproxy.lib.hku.hk\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/35\/355203\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/JPHOT.2009.2020963\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/JPHOT.2009.2020963\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/OE.17.009873\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/OE.17.009873\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LPT.2009.2022751\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LPT.2009.2022751\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/1.3631797\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/1.3631797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10.1063\/1.3631797<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; KH Li, and HW Choi Journal of Applied Physics, vol. 110, 5, pp. 053104 (2011) Photonic crystal patterns on the indium tin oxide layer&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[12,6,8,10,11,9],"class_list":["post-209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications","tag-led","tag-light-extraction","tag-monolithic","tag-nanosphere","tag-nanostructure","tag-photonic-crystal"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":213,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209\/revisions\/213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
