Abstract

Abstract : On page 1441, D. Wasserman and co‐workers demonstrate a nanostructured thin film formed by engraving a thin, patterned metal layer into a semiconductor substrate via the MacEtch technique. The patterned film allows for enhanced electrical contact and simultaneously transmits more light than a smooth air‐semiconductor interface. The demonstrated approach has the potential for integration with a wide range of optoelectronic devices.
