EULITHA Develop High Resolution Template for Patterning Photonic Crystal Structures on LED Surface

Patterning photonic crystal structures on the surface of LEDs is one of the most promising ways to boost the efficiency. These periodic structures, typically consisting of etched holes at the surface, have periods in the 100-500 nm range. EULITHA has developed a template to be used in high resolution patterning of LED surfaces.
