Description of the invention: % [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a process for forming a nano-scale roughened surface and an application thereof. Specifically, it refers to a process for forming a roughened surface having a nano column (nan〇rocJ) structure and its application. [Prior Art] A general light-emitting element is a light-emitting diode (LED) as shown in FIG. 1 , which comprises a substrate 11 which is respectively separated from the substrate by the substrate 11 A buffer layer 12 in the direction of the 丨, an n-cladding layer, an active light-emitting layer, and a p-type cladding layer 15' and an n-side electrode 16 and a p-side electrode 17 which electrically connect the n-type cladding layer 13 and the p-type cladding layer 15, respectively. The buffer layer 丨2, the n-type cladding layer 13, the active light-emitting layer 14, and the p-type cladding layer 15 are made of a gallium nitride-based material. When the n-side electrode 16 and the p-side electrode 17 are applied with an appropriate voltage difference, the electron holes in the side active light-emitting layer 14 are laminated to generate light. In such a light-emitting diode 1, since the dielectric constant (remittivity) and the reflectance of the gallium nitride-based material are large, light is caused to travel to the p-type cladding layer 15 and the p-side electrode 17, or the ρ. When the interface between the type of cladding layer 15 and the ambient air is easy to generate total reflection at the interface (as indicated by the arrow 18), the light extraction efficiency is low. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a process for forming a nano-scale roughened surface l2?89〇8. Thus, the process of the present invention comprises the following steps: (1) forming a mask layer on a roughened layer. (2) annealing the mask layer on the roughened layer. The portion of the nano-shield portion that is formed by the plurality of spaced-apart masks is engraved and removed from the region of the roughened layer that is not covered by the mask portions. (4) Remove the masks. Is to provide utilization
