近年來,氧化鋅鎵(GZO)已逐漸成為一個受矚目的透明導電薄膜材料,並且被應用於氮化銦鎵(InGaN)系列的發光二極體(LEDs)上。而GZO本身是屬於寬能隙n-type的半導體氧化物,透過我們研究所得到的結果,發現經由ALD (atomic-layer-deposition)成長厚度為250 nm的GZO薄膜具有高的摻雜濃度(~1×1021 cm-3)及低電阻率(~4×10-4 Ω-cm)的特性,此外,ALD-GZO薄膜在可見光波段有高達約90%的穿透率。
為了改善GZO薄膜在短波長的穿透率,我們透過快速熱擴散(rapid-thermal diffusion)的新方法,將鋅(Zn)與鎂(Mg)以driven-in的方式摻入ALD-GZO薄膜裡面,藉由紫外光可見光光譜儀量測結果,發現ALD-GZO薄膜在摻入Zn與Mg後其吸收邊界有明顯的藍移現象,並且其能隙也隨之增加。
另外,我們使用鎳/金(Ni/Au)來做為LEDs的p-GaN接觸電極,藉由調整Ni的厚度以及熱退火的溫度來獲得Ni/Au與p-GaN之間最佳的歐姆接觸,並且根據CTLM (circular transmission line model)的理論求得其最佳之特徵接觸電阻值(specific contact resistance, ρc)為1.4×10-3 Ω•cm2。
接著我們將Zn與Mg摻入ALD-GZO薄膜來做為透明導電層應用在400 nm及380 nm的InGaN/GaN紫光LEDs上,發現其EL (electroluminescence)的發光強度在注入電流為20 mA的情況下,以Zn與Mg摻入ALD-GZO做為透明導電層的400 nm與380 nm的LEDs與單純只以ALD-GZO來做透明導電層的LEDs相比較,分別提升了約1.4及2.5倍的強度,並且其光輸出功率在注入電流為20 mA的情況下,400 nm與380 nm的LEDs分別從6.1 mW提升至7.7 mW,以及0.7 mW提升至1.9 mW,光輸出功率分別增強了27%與166%,結果顯示將Zn與Mg以driven-in的方式摻入ALD-GZO薄膜,對於應用在較短波長的紫光LEDs上,其發光強度有更明顯的改善效果。
In recent years, gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) has passed into a very popular material as transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films to apply on InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). GZO is a wide band-gap and n-type semiconducting oxide, which can be used as a transparent contact. The results reveal that the atomic layer deposition (ALD)-GZO films with a thickness of 250 nm have an electron concentration of ~1 × 1021 cm-3, low resistivity of ~4 × 10-4 Ω-cm, and high transmittance (~90%) at the visible wavelengths.
In order to enhance the transmittance in short wavelengths of GZO films, we employed Zn and Mg driven-in ALD-GZO films via the novel method of rapid-thermal diffusion. The ultraviolet-visible spectrum shows a significant blue-shift of the absorption band edge and an increasing optical band gap for the Zn and Mg driven-in GZO films.
Additionally, we used circular transmission line model (CTLM) to perform the experiment of Ni/Au ohmic contact on p-GaN, and tried to adjust the thickness of Ni and annealing temperature to obtain optimum Ni/Au ohmic contact on p-GaN. We acquired the best specific contact resistance (ρc) is 1.4 × 10-3 Ω•cm2.
By means of Zn and Mg driven-in GZO as transparent conducting layer onto 400- and 380-nm InGaN/GaN, the electroluminescence intensity of 400- and 380-nm LEDs with Zn and Mg driven-in GZO films has nearly 1.4 and 2.5 times of magnitude stronger than the conventional LEDs only with GZO films at 20 mA. The 400- and 380-nm LEDs with Zn and Mg driven-in GZO films also reveal a light output power of 7.7 and 1.9 mW at 20 mA as compared to the conventional LEDs only with GZO films of 6.1 and 0.7 mW, respectively. The 400- and 380-nm LEDs also exhibit an enhancement of 27% and 166% in light output power. These results present that Zn and Mg driven-in ALD-GZO films have significant improvement for the light extraction on the shorter wavelengths for the violet and ultraviolet (UV) LEDs.
