The recent miniaturization of semiconductor light emitting devices (LEDs), such as mini- and micro-LEDs demands stable and efficient down-converting materials with nano-to-submicron dimensions. YAG:Ce, because of its many beneficial properties, is an interesting candidate for these applications when available at the nanoscale. This talk gives an overview of our technologies on achieving stable, well-defined nano-YAG:Ce phosphors with high energy conversion efficiencies. We discuss different synthesis approaches, after treatments and encapsulation technologies, and how these influence the structural and optical properties, and offers nano-YAG:Ce from sub-micron particles down to sizes in the order of ten to 20 nm.
