1. Light Emitting Diode (LED) comprising:
- a mesa that comprises a Group III Nitride mesa face and a mesa sidewall, on an underlying LED structure;
an array of Group III Nitride truncated cones in the mesa face, at least two adjacent truncated cones in the array being spaced apart from one another; and
a plurality of non-truncated cones between the at least two adjacent truncated cones that are spaced apart from one another.

Abstract
An LED includes a mesa having a Group III Nitride mesa face and a mesa sidewall, on an underlying LED structure. The mesa face includes Group III Nitride surface features having tops that are defined by mask features, having bottoms, and having sides that extend along crystal planes of the Group III Nitride. The mask features may include a two-dimensional array of dots that are spaced apart from one another. Related fabrication methods are also disclosed.
