This paper compares the optical effects of a two-dimensional (2D) SiO2 and SiNx photonic crystal layer (PCL) on
Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) yellow ceramic plate phosphor (CPP) to achieve enhanced extraction efficiency of YAG:Ce
CPP on top of a blue InGaN light-emitting diode (LED) cup. The low external efficiency of YAG:Ce CPP is due to low
light extraction efficiency by the total internal reflection (TIR) and waveguide effect occurring in film-type phosphor. To
reduce the TIR and the waveguide effect on YAG:Ce CPP, 2D triangular-lattice air-hole nanoarrays of SiO2 and SiNx
with various lattice constant (330, 420, 580, and 720nm) as PCL were fabricated on the YAG:Ce CPP by nanosphere
lithography (NSL). The optimum properties on light extraction efficiency of YAG:Ce CPP are realized by adding the 2D
SiNx PCL with a 580nm lattice constant. By adding the 2D SiNx PCL with a 580 nm lattice constant, integrated yellow
emission was improved by a factor of 1.72 compared to that of a conventional YAG:Ce CPP capped on a blue LED cup.
