Highly reflective ohmic contacts to III-nitride flip-chip LEDs

摘要

An inverted III-nitride light-emitting device (LED) with highly reflective ohmic contacts includes n- and p-electrode metallizations that are opaque, highly reflective, and provide excellent current spreading. The n- and p-electrodes each absorb less than 25% of incident light per pass at the peak emission wavelength of the LED active region.
