Nitride Nanowires for Light Emitting Diodes
Résumé
This chapter describes the present status of nitride nanowire (NW) light emitting diodes (LEDs). The main focus is on the NW synthesized by a bottom-up approach. NW growth methods are described and the device processing is presented. Different realizations of NW LEDs are reviewed, grouped by their spectral domain and the targeted applications. Existing challenges of NW technology for LEDs are analyzed. New functionalities offered by the NW geometry are described, namely the use of NWs to create mechanically flexible light sources.
