Abstract
In this study, In- and Sn-doped GaO (IGTO) is proposed as an alternative transparent conductive electrode for indium tin oxide (ITO) to improve the performance of InGaN/AlGaInN-based near ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (NUV LEDs). IGTO films were prepared by co-sputtering the ITO and Ga2O3 targets under various target power ratios. Among those, IGTO films post-annealed at 700°C under a hydrogen environment gave rise to a transmittance of 94% at 385nm and a contact resistance of 9.4×10−3Ω-cm2 with a sheet resistance of 124Ω/ϒ. Compared to ITO-based NUV LEDs, the IGTO-based NUV LED showed a 9% improvement in the light output power, probably due to IGTO's higher transmittance, although the forward voltage was still higher by 0.23V.
