In addition, indium tin oxide（ITO） and localized Cr deposition beneath the p-pad electrode were used as the current spreading layer and the Schottky current blocking layer（CBL）, respectively. The results indicated that ITO and the Schottky CBL improve the total light extraction efficiency by relieving the current density crowding beneath the p-pad electrode. At the current of 20 mA, the light output power of the novel LED was 40% and 19% higher than those of the traditional LED and the new epitaxial LED without CBL. It was also found that the novel LED with ITO and CBL shows better thermal characteristics.展开更多

Unlike the conventional JTE structure, the proposed structure utilizes multiple etching steps to achieve the optimum JTE concentration range. The simulation results show that the etched implant JTE method can improve the blocking voltage of SiC PiN diodes and also provides broad process latitude for parameter variations, such as implantation dose and activation annealing condition. The fabricated SiC PiN diodes with the etched implant JTE exhibit a highest blocking voltage of 4.5 kV and the forward on-state voltage of 4.6 V at room temperature. These results are of interest for understanding the etched implant method in the fabrication of high-voltage power devices.展开更多
