Sputter deposition of Sn-doped ZnO/Ag/Sn-doped ZnO transparent contact layer for GaN LED applications

Abstract: Sn-doped ZnO/Ag/Sn-doped ZnO (ZAZ) multilayers prepared using sputtering process was employed in GaN-based blue light-emitting diodes(LEDs) as transparent contact layers (TCLs). The ZAZ layer had better optical and electrical properties without any thermal annealing. The ZAZ TCLs improved the current spreading on p-GaN layer and increased the light output power in the large area devices. The efficiency droop was also quite small in the case of adopting a ZAZ TCL in GaN-based LEDs. These results are promising f… Show more

“…Moreover, GaN has gained much attention due to its potential applications in series of devices such as LEDs, short wavelength emitters or detectors, high power and high frequency electronic devices [47][48][49]. GaN based LEDs are widely applied in color displays, traffic lights, and solid state lighting [50][51][52]. GaN based semiconductors are highly promising for the fabrication of electronic devices including high electron mobility transistors [53], heterojunction bipolar transistors [54], UV Schottky barrier photodetectors (PDs) [55], and metal semiconductor metal (MSM) PD [56].…”

“…Modifications of the structural, morphological, optical, chemical, electronic, and physicochemical properties of the ZnO semiconductor nanomaterials either through doping or through the formation of composites have always attracted the researcher to synthesize such materials [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Various doped ZnO nanomaterials have been recently synthesized and explored for their photocatalytic [ 10 , 11 , 12 ], gas sensing [ 13 , 14 ], photonic crystals [ 15 ], spintronics [ 16 ], electrochemical sensing [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], optoelectronics [ 20 , 21 ], dye-sensitized solar cells [ 22 ], light emitting diodes [ 23 ], field emission transistors [ 24 , 25 ], and many more applications. Methods like sol-gel [ 24 , 26 ], hydrothermal [ 18 , 27 ], ceramics vapor deposition [ 28 ], spin coating [ 29 ], solution combustion [ 30 ], RF sputtering [ 31 ], pulse laser deposition [ 32 , 33 ], etc.…”
