摘要
We have fabricated GaN-based light-emitting diodes using transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) p contacts. ITO-contacted devices required an additional 2 V to drive 10 mA, as compared to similar devices with metal contacts. However, ITO has lower optical absorption at 420 nm (alpha = 664 cm(-1)) than commonly used thin metal films (alpha = 3 x 10(5) cm(-1)). Uniform luminescence was observed in ITO-contacted devices, indicating effective hole injection and current spreading. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)01626-5].
