  • Publication number: 20100203245
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a photonic crystal structure is disclosed herein for forming a cavity-type or a pillar type photonic crystal structure of a large area. By the property that a hetero-interface inhibits epitaxial growth, a patterned film layer is formed over the epitaxy substrate, so a photonic crystal structure is grown vertically by epitaxy in area outside of the patterned film layer on the epitaxy substrate. Furthermore, by designing the pattern of the patterned film, a defect mode photonic crystal structure such as an optical waveguide, an optical resonator and a beam splitter can be formed.

  • Patent number: 7663153
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) is provided. The LED at least includes a substrate, a saw-toothed multilayer, a first type semiconductor layer, an active emitting layer and a second type semiconductor layer. In the LED, the saw-tooth multilayer is formed opposite the active emitting layer below the first type semiconductor layer by an auto-cloning photonic crystal process. Due to the presence of the saw-tooth multilayer on the substrate of the LED, the scattered light form a back of the active emitting layer can be reused by reflecting and recycling through the saw-tooth multilayer. Thus, all light is focused to radiate forward so as to improve the light extraction efficiency of the LED. Moreover, the saw-tooth multilayer does not peel off or be cracked after any high temperature process because the saw-tooth multilayer has the performance of releasing thermal stress and reducing elastic deformation between it and the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20090127096
    Abstract: A method for forming a corrugation multilayer is provided. A periodic substrate is obtained, and then a corrugated reshaping layer is formed on the periodic substrate. The corrugated reshaping layer may be formed by an ion beam sputtering system and a bias etching system. Afterward, the following steps a and b are performed repeatedly. In step a, a first capping layer is formed on the periodic substrate by the ion beam sputtering system. In step b, a second capping layer with a corrugation appearance is formed on the first capping layer by simultaneously depositing by the ion beam sputtering system and trimming by the bias etching system. The autocloning corrugation multilayer can be carried out according to this method.
