Abstract

A surface plasmon enhanced light-emitting diode includes, from bottom to top, a substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer, a light-emitting layer, a p-type semiconductor layer, and a plurality of metal filler elements. The p-type semiconductor layer includes upper and lower surfaces, and the upper surface is recessed downward to form a plurality of spaced apart recesses for receiving the metal filler elements, respectively.
