- Light-emitting diodes can be applied to various kinds of equipment, such as optical display equipment, regulatory signs, telecommunication equipment, and illuminating equipment. Light-emitting diodes, distinct from conventional light sources, are applicable to different industries.
- The radiating principle of the light-emitting diodes is that the bonding of electrons and holes in the light-emitting layer of P-type and N-type semiconductors forms photons to generate light on forward bias. Because the P-type GaN semiconductor is hard to be doped, the contact of P-type GaN semiconductor and conductive layer produces higher resistance and consequently decreases the efficiency of P-type GaN semiconductor.
- Taiwanese Patent No. 459,407 provides a proposal to reduce the contact resistance between a P-type GaN semiconductor layer and a conductive layer. Referring to

GaN contact layer 17 and the transparentconductive layer 19 by adding an n+ typereverse tunneling layer 18 between them. - However, due to a complex manufacturing process and difficult control of the n+ type
reverse tunneling layer 18, the finished products of light-emitting diodes are not stable and have a higher production cost as well. - Accordingly, a scope of the invention is to provide an ohmic contact film capable of improving the ohmic contact between the doped semiconductor material layer and the conductive material layer. Compared to the prior art, a semiconductor light-emitting device with the ohmic contact film has an easier manufacturing process; it also increases the stability for production and consequently has lower cost for production.
- A scope of the invention is to provide an ohmic contact film formed between a doped semiconductor material layer and a conductive material layer of a semiconductor device. The composition of the ohmic contact film according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is represented by the general formula MxNy, where M represents the II group chemical element, N represents the V group chemical element, 1≦x≦3, 1≦y≦3, and x and y are molar numbers.

FIG. 2 ,FIG. 2 is the schematic sectional view of theohmic contact film 32 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Theohmic contact film 32 is formed between a dopedsemiconductor material layer 30 and aconductive material layer 34 of a semiconductor device. In practical application, the semiconductor device can be a semiconductor light-emitting device. The dopant type of the dopedsemiconductor material layer 30 can be N-type or P-type. Theconductive material layer 34 can be Ni/Au, ITO, CTO, TiWN, In2O3, SnO2, CdO, ZnO, CuGaO2, or SrCu2O2. - The composition of the
ohmic contact film 32 is represented by the general formula MxNy, where M represents the II group chemical element, N represents the V group chemical element, 1≦x≦3, 1≦y≦3, and x and y are molar numbers. In practical application, the II group chemical element in theohmic contact film 32 can be Zn, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, or Ra. The V group chemical element in theohmic contact film 32 can be N, P, As, Sb, or Bi. - In this embodiment, the
ohmic contact film 32 is formed at a temperature ranging from 400° C. to 1100° C. The thickness of theohmic contact film 32 is in a range of from 0.5 Angstroms to 500 Angstroms. - Refer to Table 1. Table 1 shows the results of a contact resistance test of a combination structure with and without the
ohmic contact film 32. The combination structure includes a dopedsemiconductor material layer 30 of P-type GaN and aconductive material layer 34 of ITO. Theohmic contact film 32, formed between the P-type GaN and the ITO, has the composition of MgN, where Mg is selected from the II group chemical element, and N is selected from the V group chemical element. As shown in Table 1, the combination structure with MgN as theohmic contact film 32 has a contact resistance lower than that without MgN by about an order. Therefore, theohmic contact film 32 of MgN indeed improves the ohmic contact between the P-type GaN and the ITO. -
TABLE 1 combination structure of P-type GaN and ITO contact resistance with MgN ohmic contact film 1.56 × 10−3 ohm-cm2 without MgN ohmic contact film 2.5 × 10−2 ohm-cm2 - The calculation result in “Ferromagnetism in tetrahedrally coordinated compounds of I/II-V elements: Ab initiocalculations” of PHYSICAL REVIEW B 73 (2006) reveals that possible combinations of the II group chemical element and the V group chemical element have similar magnetic and electronic properties. It is found that all II-V compounds have a tendency toward a ferromagnetic ground state. On aspect of technology, it is believed that the
ohmic contact film 32 according to the invention can be composed of other possible II-V compounds not mentioned in the specification of the invention. - Refer to
FIG. 3 .FIG. 3 is the drawing of an I-V test conducted for semiconductor light-emitting devices with and without theohmic contact film 32. Theohmic contact film 32, included in the semiconductor light-emitting device, is prepared by the reaction between ammonia and Mg, and the composition of theohmic contact film 32 is Mg3N2. As shown inFIG. 3 , the semiconductor light-emitting device with Mg3N2 as theohmic contact film 32 has a lower resistance value than that without Mg3N2. - According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the composition of the
ohmic contact film 32 inFIG. 2 is represented by the general formula MxQzNy where M represents the II group chemical element, Q represents the IV group chemical element, N represents the V group chemical element, 1≦x≦3, 1≦y≦3, 1≦z≦3, and x, y and z are molar numbers. - In practical application, the II group chemical element in the
ohmic contact film 32 can be Zn, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, or Ra. The IV group chemical element in theohmic contact film 32 can be C, Si, Ge, Si, or Pb. The V group chemical element in theohmic contact film 32 can be N, P, As, Sb, or Bi. - The experimental result, according to “Ab initio band structure calculations of Mg3N2 and MgSiN2” of Condens.
Matter 11, J. Phys (1999), proves that the energy gap of Mg3N2 is about 2.8 eV, while that of MgSiN2 is about 4.8 eV. Because the energy gap width of Mg3N2 and MgSiN2 is similar to that of InGaN, it is helpful to decrease the resistance value between the P-type GaN semiconductor material layer and the conductive material layer. Therefore, in the embodiment, the composition of theohmic contact film 32 can be MgSiN2. - The ohmic contact film according to the invention is capable of improving the ohmic contact between the doped semiconductor material layer and the conductive material layer. Compared to the prior art, the semiconductor light-emitting device with the ohmic contact film has an easier manufacturing process; it also increases the stability for production and consequently has lower cost for production. Moreover, from the technical viewpoint, the ohmic contact film provided by the invention is certainly applicable to other type of semiconductor devices not described in the specification.
- With the example and explanations above, the features and spirits of the invention will be hopefully well described. Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device may be made while retaining the teaching of the invention.
