The various surface texturing effects of InGaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been investigated by comparison of experimented data and simulated data. The single-layer and double-layer texturing were performed with the help of ITO nanospheres using wet etching, where the ITO ohmic contact layer and the p-GaN layer are textured using ITO nanospheres as an etch mask. In case of single-layer texturing, p-type GaN layer texturing was more effective than ITO ohmic contact layer texturing. The maximum enhancement of wall-plug efficiency of double-layered textured LEDs is 40% more than conventional LEDs, after packaging at an injected current of 20 mA. The increase of light scattering at the textured GaN surfaces is a major reason for increasing the light extraction efficiency of LEDs.
