Abstract

The optical and electrical properties of Ni(5 nm)-Au(5 nm) and Ni(3.5 nm)-indium tin oxide (ITO) (60 nm) films were studied. It was found that the normalized transmittance of Ni/ITO film could reach 87 % at 470 nm, which was much larger than that of the Ni-Au film. It was also found that the specific contact resistance was 5 × 10-4 Ω cm2 and 1 × 10-3 Ω cm2, respectively, for Ni-Au and Ni/ITO on p-GaN. Furthermore, it was found that the 20 mA output power of light-emitting diode (LED) with Ni-Au p-contact layer was 5.26 mW. In contrast, the output power could reach 6.59 mW for the LED with Ni/ITO p-contact layer.
