Process yield and reliability optimization of nanowire white light emitting diodes on low cost, large area Si substrates

改变我们生活的电子设备都消耗能源。正是这种能源消耗正在产生社会问题，这与工业革命带来的环境问题没有什么不同。这些设备对我们产生维持运行所需的电力的能力提出了很高的要求。因此，找到创造新能源或提高能源效率的解决方案至关重要。考虑到现在20%的总能源消耗用于室内照明，传统能源的低效率现在是新兴能源危机的根源。鉴于全球对照明的巨大需求，显然迫切需要针对这一新兴问题的最新技术解决方案。

The electronic devices that have transformed our lives all consume energy. It is this energy consumption which is now producing societal problems not unlike the environmental problems brought forth by the Industrial Revolution. These devices are placing great demands upon our ability to generate the electrical power needed to maintain operation. Hence it is crucial to find solutions which either create new sources of energy or create greater energy efficiency. Considering that 20% of total energy consumption now goes into room lighting, the poor efficiency of traditional sources is now the source of an emerging energy crisis. Given the significant global need for lighting, it is clear there is a desperate need for an updated technological solution for this emerging problem.
