| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The demonstration of integrating a simple one-dimensional (1-D) periodic microstructure and a light-emitting zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film on a silicon substrate using a simple process with two-beam interference lithography and sputtering was presented. A 1-D microstructure composed of ZnO was obtained using our fabrication process without using a photomask and dry etching. The intensity of a photoluminescence peak observed from a sample with the periodic microstructure was approximately six times stronger than that without it. The light-extraction efficiency from the ZnO thin film seems to be improved by the integration of the 1-D periodic microstructure. Such techniques are also expected to be applied to improve performance of medical diagnosis systems using scintillators such as positron emission tomography (PET).
