High-Performance ITO and Ni-Au Films for Enhanced Nitride-Based LED Applications
This study explores the deposition of indium-tin-oxide (ITO) and nickel-gold (Ni-Au) films on various substrates, including glass and GaN layers. The ITO film, with a thickness of 80 nm, exhibits a remarkable transparency of 93.2% at 465 nm and a low specific contact resistance of 1.6 x 10^-3 cm²Ω on n+-SPS structures. These findings highlight the potential of ITO in improving the efficiency and performance of nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs), paving the way for advancements in optoelectronic devices.

Presentation Transcript
Introduction The indium-tin-oxide [ITO(80 nm)] and Ni(5 nm)–Au(10 nm) films were separately deposited on glass substrates,p-GaN layers, n+-InGaN–GaN short-period-superlattice (SPS) structures, and nitride-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It was found that ITO on n+-SPS structure could provide us an extremely high transparency (i.e., 93.2% at 465 nm) and also areasonably small specific contact resistance of 1.6*10 -3 cm2Ω.
