We tried to obtain microstructures on a three-dimensional (3D) micropatterned substrate by laser drilling. The influences of the dimensions of the drilling holes on the morphology and the material quality of the grown structures were studied. Uniform micropyramid arrays with relatively low dislocation density can be achieved by adjusting the laser drilling parameters. The internal quantum efficiency was estimated to be improved by a factor of 3 for a pyramid structure compared with that of planar LEDs. We fabricated 5 × 7 mm2 flexible LEDs employing the pyramid structure and the devices exhibited good flexibility without performance reduction after bending.

This report describes the fabrication and resistive switching (RS) characteristics of a novel flexible transparent (FT) resistive random access memory (ReRAM) device with a Ag/indium–tin oxide (ITO) nanowire network/ITO capacitor deposited on a PDMS substrate. The transmittance of the device is ∼70% in the visible region, and it exhibits a stable high-resistance state (HRS) to low-resistance state (LRS) ratio (HRS/LRS ratio) in different bending states. The RS characteristics are attributed to the congregate state of oxygen vacancies at different voltages, and the difference between positive and negative bending is mainly contributed by the effect of stress on the conductive layer. The FT-ReRAM can be used as nonvolatile memory element in future flexible transparent devices.
