We fabricated a complex transparent conductive electrode (TCE) based on Ga2O3 for AlGaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diodes. The complex TCE consists of a 10 nm ITO, a 15 nm Ga2O3, a 7 nm Ag, and a 15 nm Ga2O3, forming a ITO/Ga2O3/Ag/Ga2O3 multilayer. The metal layer embedded into Ga2O3 and the thin ITO contact layer improves current spreading and electrode contact properties. It is found that the ITO/Ga2O3/Ag/Ga2O3 multilayer can reach a 92.8% transmittance at 365 nm and a specific contact resistance of 10−3 Ω·cm2 with suitable annealing conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
