摘要: The transmission properties of semiconductor surfaces can be changed by surface texturing. We investigate these changes experimentally and find that an enhancement the angle-averaged a factor 2 achieved with optimum texturing parameters. This enhanced provides additional light extraction mechanism for high-efficiency surface-textured light-emitting diodes. External quantum efficiencies 46% 54% are demonstrated before after encapsulation, respectively.
