NW

We are conducting research on LEDs using hexagonal prism-shaped fine crystals called nanowires (NW). The NW LED is composed of (0001), a non-polar surface (10-10) and a semi-polar surface (1-101), and there is a problem of reducing efficiency by emitting light on a (0001) surface having a large internal electric field.
In this study, we took advantage of the fact that the contact resistance with the electrode increases due to damage to p-GaN during etching, and selectively damaged the upper part of the surface p-GaN (0001) to achieve high resistance and suppress current injection.
