Recently, 3D nanostructures have attracted much interest because of their interesting
electrical/optical properties such as wave guiding modes, light scattering, antireflection
effects, etc. In this work, a facile yet efficient method for the fabrication of hierarchical 3D
indium tin oxide (ITO) nanotrees (NTs) and their integration in GaN‐based blue‐light‐
emitting diodes (LEDs) for efficient light‐extraction are reported. The ITO NTs are fabricated

Recently, 3D nanostructures have attracted much interest because of their interesting electrical/optical properties such as wave guiding modes, light scattering, antireflection effects, etc. In this work, a facile yet efficient method for the fabrication of hierarchical 3D indium tin oxide (ITO) nanotrees (NTs) and their integration in GaN‐based blue‐light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) for efficient light‐extraction are reported. The ITO NTs are fabricated by the oblique‐angle (≈85°) deposition method at 240 °C using electron‐beam evaporation. The ITO NTs grow via a self‐catalytic vapor–liquid–solid mechanism with the branches having an epitaxial relationship with the trunks. The ITO NTs successively deposited on an ITO thin film as a p‐contact layer are annealed at 600 °C for 1 min under ambient air in order to form a transparent ohmic contact. The indium gallium nitrde/gallium nitride (InGaN/GaN) LED with ITO NTs presents a 29.5% enhancement in the light output power at an injection current of 20 mA, compared to the reference LED with an ITO thin film p‐contact. This enhancement is ascribed to the effective light extraction of the ITO NTs due to to the gradually decreasing profile of the refractive index from 2.08 (ITO thin film), 1.15 (dense ITO NTs), 1.06 (porous ITO NTs) to 1.0 (air). These results are in good agreement with the optical simulation by the COMSOL wave optics module.
