Nanometer sized Ni-dot/Ag/Pt structure for high reflectance of p-type contact metal in InGaN light emitting diodes

Abstract

The Ni-dot/Ag/Pt layer, where Ni-dot layer is formed of nanometer sized Ni dots, has been used to improve the reflectivity from the surface of p-type GaN in a light emitting diode (LED). Comparing with Ni/Ag/Pt layer, where Ni layer is a thin film, the Ni-dot/Ag/Pt structure shows significantly improved reflectivity with stable contact resistivity. The optical output power and external quantum efficiency of InGaN LEDs with Ni-dot/Ag/Pt structure for p-metal have improved by 28% and 29%, respectively, over the results of Ni/Ag/Pt structure.
