摘要: A UV light‐emitting diode (LED) is an eco‐friendly optical source with diverse applications. However, currently, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of AlGaN‐based UV LEDs, particularly in the UV‐C band (< 280 nm), is very low (< 11%) mainly due to a large optical absorption via p‐GaN contact layers. A direct Ohmic contact to p‐AlGaN layers should be obtained using UV‐transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) to solve this problem. A universal method is presented here to make such contact using electrical breakdown, with …
