Abstract

Near infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) play an important role in infrared photodetectors; however, external quantum efficiency of GaAs LEDs is greatly confined as a result of critical angle and Fresnel diffraction. In this study, polystyrene spheres are used to fabricate photonic crystal. A ring-shaped ohmic contact was introduced to the device, and the current-voltage curves and light emitting efficiency were measured to characterize the property of device. The LED device with surface nano-structure exhibited better external quantum efficiency (EQE) and improved light extraction efficiency (LEE) in near infrared light emitting area compared to non-structure device.
