The Optical Properties of InGaN/GaN Nanorods Fabricated on (-201) β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Substrate for Vertical Light Emitting Diodes

We fabricated InGaN/GaN nanorod light emitting diode (LED) on (-201) β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> substrate via the SiO<sub>2</sub> nanosphere lithography and dry-etching techniques. The InGaN/GaN nanorod LED grown on β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3<...
