Abstract

We report the electrical and the optical properties of ZnNi/Au electrodes and compare them to those of Ni/Au electrodes. From the experiment and a systematic analysis using fabricated InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with ZnNi/Au (5 nm/5 nm) electrodes, the forward voltage with ZnNi/Au was compared with the values of 3.45 V and 22 mW, respectively for Ni/Au under the same conditions. We attribute this to both the reduced barrier height of p-type GaN and the enhanced mobility of Mg-doped GaN, due to hydrogen absorption by ZnNi.
