Abstract
A light emitting diode may include a light emission layer and a charge transport layer disposed on the light emission layer. A grating including a plurality of nanoholes may be formed by removing a portion of the charge transport layer and/or the light emission layer and depositing a plasmonic metamaterial on a remaining portion of the charge transport layer and/or the light emission layer. The nanoholes may include the plasmonic metamaterial deposited inside the recesses formed by the remaining portion of the charge transport layer and/or the light emission layer, with an additional portion of the charge transport layer disposed on top. A pitch, diameter, and/or depth of the nanoholes may be configured to maximize the quantum efficiency of the light emitting diode, especially at a microscale of less than 100 microns.
