Abstract

We have investigated high-quality ohmic contacts for flip-chip light emitting diodes using Zn-Ni nanoparticles/Ag schemes. The Zn-Ni nanoparticles/Ag contacts produce specific contact resistances of 10 -5-10 -6 Ωcm 2 when annealed at temperatures of 330-530°C for 1 min in air ambient, which are much better than those obtained from the Ag contacts. It is shown that blue InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well light emitting diodes fabricated with the annealed Zn-Ni nanoparticles/Ag contacts give much lower forward-bias voltages at 20 mA compared with those of the multi-quantum well light emitting diodes made with the as-deposited Ag contacts. It is further presented that the multi-quantum well light emitting diodes made with the Zn-Ni nanoparticles/Ag contacts show similar output power compared to those fabricated with the Ag contact layers.
