摘要
研究了AZO(ZnO∶Al)替代ITO透明导电膜在GaN基LED中的应用,通过脉冲激光沉积和磁控溅射法制作了AZO薄膜,分析了AZO与p型GaN不良的欧姆接触的物理机理,并利用插入ITO薄层来改善接触电阻,实验用ITO 20nm/AZO 500nm的复合导电薄膜做透明导电薄膜,成功得到了波长为525.74nm、亮度为380.88mcd、电压为3.35V的GaN基绿光LED芯片,相当于单一ITO透明导电膜的性能,整个试验工艺中减少了ITO的使用量,降低了LED芯片的制造成本。
Abstract
The applications of ZnO∶Al substitute ITO for transparent conductive layer in GaNbased LED were researched. AZO films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition and magnetron sputtering. Then the physical mechanism of poor ohmic contacts between AZO and ptype GaN layer was analyzed, and the contact resistance was improved by inserting ITO layer simultaneously. For the experiments, ITO 20nm/AZO 500nm composite transparent conductive layer was prepared successfully, and the GaNbased green LED was obtained with the brightness of 380.88mcd, wavelength of 525.74nm and voltage of 3.35V. The result is equivalent to the performance of a single ITO transparent conductive layer, and it reduces the usage of ITO and the process cost.
