Abstract

The present invention relates to one kind of LED electrode with low contact resistance, low light absorption and high reflectivity, and belongs to the field of the photoelectronic device making technology. The electrode has the structure including the first layer of semiconductor substrate, the second layer of ohmic contact layer on the semiconductor substrate, the third layer of high reflectivity Ag mirror on the ohmic contact layer and the fourth layer of protecting layer on the high reflectivity Ag mirror. The present invention features that the ohmic contact layer has circular through micropores with coated transparent film with the optimal optical thickness in one quarter of wavelength of light the device emits and the refractive index smaller than the complex refractive index of the semiconductor substrate and the high reflectivity Ag mirror so as to form structure of high-low-high refractive index. The electrode has low contact resistance, less light absorption and high heat reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is used in the technical field of optoelectronic device manufacturing, and in particular relates to a light emitting diode (LED) electrode structure. Background technique [0002] The traditional high-reverse electrode Ni / Au / Ag (see figure 1 ), transparent conductive oxide film (TCO) coated silver high reflective mirror (see figure 2 ) and other flat electrodes. The Ni / Au / Ag electrode is composed of a doped semiconductor layer 1, a Ni / Au ohmic contact layer 2, a silver high reflection mirror 3 and a protective film 4. This electrode has a low specific contact resistance, and its specific contact resistivity can be as low as 10 -6 Ω·cm 2 . But the disadvantage is that the metal contact layer absorbs light seriously, and the light absorption coefficient K is greater than 1, and increases with the increase of its thickness and area. It causes a serious loss of light output power, the absorption of 460nm blue light reaches 20%-30%, and...
