Abstract
A method is disclosed for obtaining a high-resolution lenticular pattern on the surface of a light emitting diode. The method comprises imprinting a patterned sacrificial layer of etchable material that is positioned on a semiconductor surface that is in turn adjacent a light emitting active region, and thereafter etching the imprinted sacrificial layer and the underlying semiconductor to transfer an imprinted pattern into the semiconductor layer adjacent the light emitting active region.
