나노스피어 리소그래피는 기존의 리소그래피 방법에 비해 나노 크기 패턴을 제작하는데 공정이 간단하며 재현성있게 대면적에 패터닝이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Vertical LED(V-LED)의 External quantum efficiency 향상을 위하여 나노스피어 리소그래 피를 이용하여 V-LED의 n-GaN 표면을 패터닝을 하였다. n-GaN 위에 Sputter를 이용하여 $SiO_2$를 증착 후 나노스피어를 스핀 코팅을 이용하여 단일막을 형성하였다. 그 후, 반응성 이온 식각 장치를 이용하여 나노스피어의 크기를 조절하고 $SiO_2$층을 식각하였다. 다음과 같은 공정 후 $SiO_2$층을 Mask층으로 하여 n-GaN 표면을 식각하였다. 실험 결과 나노스피어 리소그래피를 이용하여 V-LED의 External quantum efficiency 향상을 위한 n-GaN 표면의 패턴 제작이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recent years, OLEDs have been progressed intensively and been widely applied to Display and Lighting industry,Almost 100% internal quantum efficiency was achieved by developing new materials and structure optimization. However, external quantum efficiency was still low due to total internal reflection of light inside OLED devices and absorption of light at the surface of metal electrode. In order to improve external quantum efficiency of OLED devices, various kinds of optical functional structures were introduced to inside and outside of OLED devices to increase light extraction efficiency. In this paper, various efforts to apply optical functional structures in OLED devices were reviewed and way to improve light extraction efficency of OLED devices were discussed.

We fabricated electroluminescent(EL) devices which have a blended single emitting layer containing poly(N-vinylcarbazole)[PVK] and poly(3-dodecylthiophene)[P3DoDT]. The molar ratio between P3DoDT and PVK changed with 1:0, 2:1 and 1:1. To improve the external quantum efficiency of EL devices, we applied insulating layer, LiF layer, between polymer emitting layer and Al electrode. All of the devices emit orange-red light and its can be explained that the energy transfer occurs from PVK to P3DoDT. In the voltage-current and voltage-light power characteristics of devices applied LiF layer, current and light power drastically increased with increasing applied voltage. In the consequence of the result, the external quantum efficiency of the devices that have a molar ratio 1:1 with LiF layer was 35 times larger than that of the device without LiF layer at 6V.

In order to enhance current Injection efficiency of Y-groove inner strife(VIS) quantum wire lasers, three different current configurations, n-blocking on p-substrate(VIPS), p-n-p-n blocking on n-substrate(VI(PN)nS), p-blocking on n-substrate(VINS) have been designed and fabricated. Among them VIPS laser showed the most stable characteristics of lasing up to 5 mW/facet, a threshold current of 39.9 mA at 818 nm, and an external differential quantum efficiency of 24 %/facet. The current tuning rate was almost linear 0.031 nm/mA, and the temperature tuning rate was measured to be 0.14 nm/$^{\circ}C$.

We examine the conventional method of measuring the internal optical loss using the dependence of the reciprocal external quantum efficiency on the cavity length in laser diodes. It is shown that the implicit assumption of constant internal differential quantum efficiency ${\eta}_{id}$, which has been customarily misinterpreted as internal quantum efficiency ${\eta}_{i}$, is not valid for devices with short cavity length. Therefore, for reliable measurments long cavity data should be used.

To increase the light-emission efficiency of LED, we increased the internal and external quantum efficiency by suppressing the defect formation in the quantum well and by increasing the light extraction efficiency in LED, respectively. First, the internal quantum efficiency was improved by investigating the effect of a low temperature (LT) grown p-GaN layer on the In$\sub$0.25/GaN/GaN MQW in green LED. The properties of p-GaN was optimized at a low growth temperature of 900oC. A green LED using the optimized LT p-type GaN clearly showed the elimination of blue-shift which is originated by the MQW damage due to the high temperature growth process. This result was attributed to the suppression of indium inter-diffusion in MQW layer as evidenced by XRD and HR-TEM analysis. Secondly, we improved the light-extraction efficiency of LED. In spite of high internal quantum efficiency of GaN-based LED, the external quantum efficiency is still low due to the total internal reflection of the light at the semiconductor-air interface. To improve the probability of escaping the photons outside from the LED structure, we fabricated nano-sized cavities on a p-GaN surface utilizing Pt self-assembled metal clusters as an etch mask. Electroluminescence measurement showed that the relative optical output power was increased up to 80% compared to that of LED without nano-sized cavities. I-V measurement also showed that the electrical performance was improved. The enhanced LED performance was attributed to the enhancement of light escaping probability and the decrease of resistance due to the increase in contact area.

We have demonstrated that TPyPA can be used as an efficient multi-functional material for OLEDs; hole transporting material (HTL), blue and white-light emitter. The device based on TPyPA as the HTL exhibited an external quantum efficiency of 1.7% and a luminance efficiency of 4.2 cd/A; these values are 40% higher than the external quantum efficiency and luminance efficiency of the NPD-based reference device. The device based on TPyPA as a blue-light emitter exhibited an external quantum efficiency of 4.2% and a luminance efficiency of 5.3 $cdA^{-1}$ with CIE coordinates at (0.16, 0.14), the device based on TPyPA as a white-light emitter exhibited an external quantum efficiency of 3.2% and a luminance efficiency of 7.7 $cdA^{-1}$ with CIE coordinates at (0.33, 0.39). Also, TPyPA-based organic solar cell (OSC) exhibited a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.35%. TPyPA-based organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) exhibited highly efficient field-effect mobility (${\mu}_{FET}$) of $1.7{\times}10^{-4}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$, a threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) of -15.9 V, and an on/off current ratio of $8.6{\times}10^3$.

By forming lens-like shapes on the electrode surfaces in OLEDs, the external quantum efficiency is enhanced. The external quantum efficiency of the proposed structure can be much more increased compared to that of the flat structure by decreasing the length of major axis and increasing the length of minor axis for the lens-like shapes.

In the devices structure of ITO/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N' bis (3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) /tris (8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum$(Alq_3)$electron-transport-layer(ETL)(2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BCP))/Al, we have studied the efficiency improvement of organic light-emitting diodes depending on the thickness variation of BCP using electron transport layer. The thickness of TPD and $Alq_3$ was manufactured 40 nm, 60 nm under a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr using at thermal evaporation, respectively. The TPD and $Alq_3$ layer were evaporated to be deposition rate of $2.5{\AA}/s$. And the BCP was evaporated to be a4 a deposition of $1.0{\AA}/s$. As the experimental results, we found that the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency of the device is superior to others when thickness of BCP is 5 nm. Also, operating voltage is lowest. Compared to the ones from the devices without BCP layer, the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency were improved by a factor of four hundred ninty and five hundred, respectively. And operating voltage is reduced to about 2 V.
