  • Abstract
    We designed and fabricated 260 nm ultraviolet light emitting diodes that were pseudomorphically grown on AlN substrates. Thinning the substrates, roughening the emission surfaces, and encapsulating contributed to increasing the photon extraction efficiency by more than one order of magnitude.
