研究目的
To study the electrical, optical, and thermal properties of transfer-free graphene-like thin films (GLTFs) grown directly on gallium nitride (GaN)/sapphire light-emitting diode (LED) substrates for transparent electrode applications.
研究成果
The as-prepared GLTF-based transparent electrodes demonstrated good current spreading, current injection, and heat spreading functions in GaN LEDs, with advantages over platinum-only electrodes in terms of surface sheet resistance, turn-on voltage, and power consumption. The transfer-free method offers a scalable, controllable, and reproducible solution for transparent electrodes in GaN-based optoelectronics, though further optimization is needed to improve optical transmittance.
研究不足
The optical transmittance of the GLTF-based transparent electrodes was lower than that of platinum-only electrodes. The study also identified high temperature annealing as a deteriorating process for 2 nm Pt, although adding GLTF compensated for this effect.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with an ultrathin platinum catalyst to grow GLTFs directly on GaN/sapphire LED substrates. The growth parameters were optimized to minimize high temperature exposure of GaN wafers.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Standard commercial GaN LED epitaxial wafers with sapphire substrates were used. The samples included GaN/sapphire LED substrates with no thermal treatment, 2 nm Pt coated GaN/sapphire with no other treatment, 2 nm Pt coated GaN/sapphire annealed at 600 °C for 25 min, and 25 min of GLTF growth at 600 °C on 2 nm Pt coated GaN/sapphire.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The PECVD system used was a Black Magic Pro system from AIXTRON Nanoinstruments Ltd. Other materials included acetylene and argon gases, and ultrathin platinum (2 nm) as the catalyst.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The GLTF was grown on p-GaN with pre-deposited 2 nm platinum at 600 °C and 6 mbar for 25 min. LED devices were fabricated by photolithography, dry etching, and sputtering of Ti/Au electrodes.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The electrical, optical, and thermal properties of the samples were analyzed, including surface sheet resistance, transmittance, and temperature distribution measurements.
