Fabrication and characterization of an AlGaN light emitting diode with Al-doped ZnO as a current spreading tunnel junction layer

We fabricated an AlGaN light emitting diode (LED) with a heavily Al-doped n-type ZnO layer on a p-type contact layer as a tunnel junction (TJ) to improve carrier injection into the LED. We characterized its electrical and optical properties and compared them to those of an AlGaN LED without ZnO. Fro...
