Abstract

The main object of the present invention provides a gallium nitride LED structure with a digital layer. The structure improves the shortcoming and the limitation for the related conventional LED technology to greatly promote its reverse withstanding voltage and electrostatic discharge withstanding function. Second object of the present invention provides equipment reducing the resistance between a transparent conducting layer and a P-type gallium nitride contact layer. By establishing a digital layer that is disposed between the mentioned two layers and allows the carrier penetration therein, an ohmic contact is formed between the aforementioned transparent conducting layer or the transparent conducting oxide layer and the P-type gallium nitride contact layer to reduce the resistance between the two layers. Third object of the present invention provides a material that allows carrier penetration therein. In the present invention, the traditional nickel/gold is replaced by a material with excellent transmissivity to visible light, such as indium tin oxide as the material for the transparent conducting layer. However, because the ohmic contact is not really present between the indium-tin-oxide compound material and the P-type gallium nitride, a digital layer shall be added between the two layers. Given the carrier penetration effect of the digital layer, it causes two layers to form an ohmic contact so as to reduce the resistance between the two layers. By means of the present invention, the LED structure significantly achieves to promote the reverse withstanding voltage and the electrostatic discharge withstanding function.
