摘要
P-type ohmic contact between Au nanoparticles/lTO and p-GaN during heat treatment is reported. Optimal conditions are selected to minimize the lowest specific contact resistance to 1.66 x 10(-3) Omega cm(2), as determined by the transmission line model (TLM) after heat treatment process at an alloying temperature of 600 degrees C for 10 min in air. Au nanoparticles/lTO bi-layers are also applied to GaN-based LEDs to form an electrode with a p-type ohmic contact. Typical I-V characteristics of the GaN-based LEDs with an ohmic contact layer of Au nanoparticles/ITO exhibit a forward-bias voltage of 3.43 V at an injection current of 20 mA.
