New Fabrication Technique Yields Nanoscale UV LEDs

Washington DC (SPX) May 28, 2007 - Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with scientists from the University of Maryland and Howard University, have developed a technique to create tiny, highly efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) from nanowires. As described in a recent paper, the fabricated LEDs emit ultraviolet light-a key wavelength range required for many light-based nanotechnologies, including data storage-and the assembly technique is well-suited for scaling to commercial production.
