摘要: We presents a nanorods AlN films on sapphire substrate deposited at oblique-angle by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering. A layer was employed as buffer for GaN-based LEDs to improve optoelectronic characteristics of LEDs. The diameter the is in range 30-50 nm. Typical current-voltage with have forward-bias voltage 3.1 V an injection current 20 mA. output intensity initially increases linearly from 10 mA 150 light power LED nanoporous AIN about 31% higher than that without 250
