Light‐Extraction Enhancement of GaInN Light‐Emitting Diodes by Graded‐Refractive‐Index Indium Tin Oxide Anti‐Reflection Contact

Abstract: GaInN LEDs with a six‐layer graded‐ refractive‐index antireflection coating made entirely of indium tin oxide (ITO) are demonstrated to have 24.3 % higher light output than LEDs with dense ITO coating. The increased light‐output of the LEDs with graded‐refractive‐index antireflection coating is attributed to the virtual elimination of Fresnel reflection and surface roughening of low‐refractive index ITO.

“…The refractive index at 474 nm of the sublayer adjacent to the glass substrate is given for all six samples in Table 1. These refractive index values ranging from 2.14 to 2.20 are close to the refractive index value of the bulk ITO (2.19) mentioned by Kim et al 20 …”

“…Only antireflection ITO coatings on glass showed similar transmission between 850-975 nm, but with an unacceptable sheet resistivity of ~15 Ω cm. Fresnel 6 reflection associated with higher refractive index ITO thin films is virtually eliminated [23] due to reduction in the refractive index from the substrate to the nanowire layer/ambient interface, where the refractive index was measured to vary from 2.19 (close to the substrate) to 1.04 (at the air interface). The low refractive index nanowire layer is optically specular and exhibits a 'dark' surface (see Fig.…”
