摘要
We report on the electrical and optical properties of InGaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing Ga doped ZnO (GZO) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as a highly transparent contact p-electrode (GZO-LEDs). For comparison, the LEDs with semi-transparent thin Ni/Au (5/5 nm) current spreading layers were also fabricated on the same wafer (Ni/Au-LEDs). Unpackaged GZO-LEDs with 200 mu m diameter showed negligible light output degradation for up to 30 min under CW current of 100 mA (corresponding to a 318 A/cm(2) current density), while the light output for Ni/Au-LEDs was reduced by 85% after only 5 min of operation due to the severe current crowding effect (or current filamentation). Pulsed electroluminescence (EL) measurements revealed that the GZO-LEDs exhibit 50% higher EL intensity for the same current levels. (c) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
