High-performance GaN-based light-emitting diode using high-transparency Ni ∕ Au ∕ Al -doped ZnO composite contacts

We report on a high-transparency low-resistance composite contact structure on p - Ga N for light-emitting diode applications. The structure consists of a thin Ni ( 5 nm ) ∕ Au ( 5 nm ) layer overcoated with a sputtered Al-doped ZnO ( 170 nm ) layer. Enhancement in light emission intensity as high a...

Zusammenfassung:We report on a high-transparency low-resistance composite contact structure on p - Ga N for light-emitting diode applications. The structure consists of a thin Ni ( 5 nm ) ∕ Au ( 5 nm ) layer overcoated with a sputtered Al-doped ZnO ( 170 nm ) layer. Enhancement in light emission intensity as high as 74% at 40 mA and forward operating voltages in the range of 3.36 - 3.48 V at 20 mA are obtained for these devices using a two-step thermal annealing process.
