摘要
We have investigated the In/indium tin oxide (ITO) scheme for obtaining high-quality Ohmic contacts to Ga-face and N-face nGaN for InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The In/ITO contacts to Ga-face n-GaN become Ohmic with specific contact resistances of 1.8 x 10(-3) Omega cm(2) when annealed at 30 degrees C for I min in a N-2 ambient The resistance of the In/ITO contacts to N-face n-GaN is shown to be much lower than that of the contacts to Ga-face n-GaN. This result indicates that the In/ITO scheme can serve as a highly-promising n-type Ohmic contact for vertical LEDs.
