Abstract
Enhancing energy efficiency has been one of the top policy goals in many countries in the last decade. Innovative lighting solutions, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in particular, are among the very much promising opportunities to increase energy efficiency. A modern LED is a multilayer thin-film structure with the thickness of layers in the range of nanometers. LED technologies are becoming dominant in a number of application segments. Demand for economic and energy security makes the development of the LED industry one of the national priorities in many countries including Canada, the USA, Japan, and China and European countries, among others.
The key areas of the LED industry’s development envisage designing materials with unprecedented characteristics and using nanoscale components. At the same time, the technology level of semiconductor industries as such to a large extent is determined by chip processing—the key stage of LED production chain.
