Deep ultraviolet light emitting diodes based on well ordered AlGaN nanorod array

The nanorod structure is an alternative scheme to develop high-efficiency deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs). In this paper, we first report the electrically injected 274-nm AlGaN nanorod array DUV LEDs fabricated by the nanosphere lithography and dry-etching technique. Nanorod DUV LED devices with good electrical properties are successfully realized. Compared to planar DUV LEDs, nanorod DUV LEDs present
