Moreover,vertical LEDs with a non-ohmic contact CBL have relatively superior anti-electrostatic ability.展开更多

The electrical characteristics of VLEDs with n-type contacts on a roughened and flat N-polar surface have been compared. VLEDs with contacts deposited on a roughened surface exhibit lower leakage currents yet a higher operating voltage. Based on this, a new scheme by depositing metallization contacts on a selectively wet-etching roughened surface has been developed. Excellent electrical and optical characteristics have been achieved with this method. An aging test further confirmed its stability.展开更多

Elec- troluminescence (EL) measurement results show that the LEDs with the p-AllnGaN/GaN SLs' structure EBL ex- hibited better optical performance compared with the conventional A1GaN EBL due to the enhancement of hole concentration and hole carrier transport efficiency, and the confinement of electrons' overflow between multiple quantum-wells (MQWs) and EBL.展开更多
