Abstract
A new fabrication method to improve the optical extraction efficiency of light-emitting devices is presented. The morphology of a self-assembled block copolymer was transferred to the surface of a compound semiconductor to achieve a subwavelength columnar structure. The optical extraction efficiency of the substrates with subwavelength columnar structures of 350 nm pillar height, 130 nm diameter, and 180 nm pitch, improved 2.2 times compared to unprocessed substrates. This method does not require expensive exposure lithography tools and is therefore suitable for conventional semiconductor processes.
