FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - A nitride semiconductor
light emitting device 20 according to this embodiment includes asapphire substrate 24, an n-typenitride semiconductor layer 21, anactive layer 22, a p-typenitride semiconductor layer 23, a p-typeohmic contact layer 28, and an n-typeohmic contact layer 25, which are sequentially grown on thesapphire substrate 24. The n-typeohmic contact layer 25 is formed on a region formed by etching the n-typenitride semiconductor layer 21 and includes first andsecond layers light emitting device 20 further includes n-type and p-type electrodes - Components that form the semiconductor
light emitting device 20 will now be described in detail. - First, the n-type and p-type
nitride semiconductor layers active layer 22 that form a light emitting structure will be described. In the specification, a “nitride semiconductor” refers to a binary, ternary, or quaternary compound semiconductor, which is expressed as equation of AlxInyGa(1-x-y)N (here, 0≦x≦1, 0≦y≦1, 0≦x+y≦1). - That is, the n-type and p-type
nitride semiconductor layers - The
active layer 22 is formed of an undoped nitride semiconductor layer that has a single or multiple quantum well structure, and emits light having predetermined energy by recombination of electrons and holes. - The n-type and p-type
nitride semiconductor layers active layer 22 may be grown by using a process of growing a semiconductor single crystal, in particular, by using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), or hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), which is known as a nitride single crystal growth process. - The n-type and p-
type electrodes type electrodes type electrodes - The n-type
ohmic contact layer 25 may electrically form an ohmic contact between the n-typenitride semiconductor layer 21 and the n-type electrode 26 a. - To this end, the n-type
ohmic contact layer 25 includes two layers. Specifically, thefirst layer 25 a is formed of a material containing indium (In), and thesecond layer 25 a formed on thefirst layer 25 a is formed of a material containing tungsten (W). - The
first layer 25 a is formed of a material as long as it contains In. Thefirst layer 25 a may be only formed of In or an In alloy. - In is a metal that has a relatively low work function of approximately 4.12 eV. In is appropriate as a metal to form an n-type ohmic contact and has excellent electrical characteristics. Preferably, in terms of a manufacturing process, an In layer may be formed on the n-type
nitride semiconductor layer 21 by using a sputtering process, but not e-beam evaporation. Since In has a low melting point of approximately 157° C., it is difficult to control In by using general e-beam evaporation. - Meanwhile, when the
first layer 25 a is formed of an In alloy, examples of elements contained in the in alloy may include Ti, Al, Cr, Ni, Pd, Pt, Mo, Co, and Mg. The element may be appropriately selected in consideration of electrical resistance. - The
second layer 25 b is formed of W or a W alloy, which is thermally stable. Thus, an ohmic contact layer may be used as an element without additional heat treatment for thermal stability. - Like the
first layer 25 a, preferably, thesecond layer 25 b containing W may be formed by using a sputtering process. Since W has a melting point of approximately 3407° C., it is very difficult to evaporate W by using general e-beam evaporation. - When the
second layer 25 b is formed of a W alloy, examples of elements contained in the W alloy may include Ti, Al, Cr, Ni, Pd, Pt, Mo, Co, Cu, Hf, and Mg. The elements may be appropriately selected in consideration of electrical resistance. - As described above, the n-type
ohmic contact layer 25 according to this embodiment may be formed on the n-typenitride semiconductor layer 21 by using a sputtering process. Thefirst layer 25 a is formed of In, which is advantageous to form an ohmic contact, and thesecond layer 25 b is formed of the W alloy having thermal stability. In this way, excellent characteristics of the n-type ohmic contact layer can be ensured. - In this embodiment, thicknesses t1 and t2 of the
first layer 25 a and thesecond layer 25 b included in the n-typeohmic contact layer 25 may be appropriately controlled in consideration of electrical characteristics and thermal stability. - In this case, the thickness t1 of the
first layer 25 a may be in the range of 10 to 300 Å, and the thickness t2 of thesecond layer 25 b may be in the range of 100 to 4000 Å. - The p-type
ohmic contact layer 28 may not be necessarily used. The p-typeohmic contact layer 28 may have a Ni/Au structure to form an ohmic contact with the p-typenitride semiconductor layer 23. -
FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating a change in resistance according to heat treatment (annealing) temperature in an n-type ohmic contact layer used in the present invention. The graph is obtained on the basis of an I-V curve obtained by CTLM measurement with a gap spacing of 28 μm. A light emitting device having the structure according to the embodiment, described inFIG. 2 , is used in the experiment. The n-type ohmic contact layer is formed on a Ga-polar face of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. - Meanwhile, the resistance is obtained by adding contact resistance of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, resistance of the In layer, and resistance of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. Here, the heat treatment of the n-type ohmic contact layer may be generally known rapid thermal anneal (RTA).
- According to other experimental conditions, an In layer of 20 nm may be used as the first layer, and a TiW layer of 200 nm may be used as the second layer.
- Referring to the graph of
FIG. 3 , there is little change from a state As-Dep. where heat treatment is not performed to a state where heat treatment is performed at a temperature of approximately 600° C. Further, the resistance increases significantly due to thermal damage at a temperature higher than 600° C. - As described above, the n-type ohmic contact layer having the In/TiW structure according to this embodiment has excellent electrical characteristics without additional heat treatment. Further, the W alloy having excellent heat resistance is formed on the edge to obtain thermal stability.
- The n-type ohmic contact layer having the structure, described in
FIG. 3 (In layer of 20 nm and TiW layer of 200 nm), has characteristics of a first order function, that is, linear characteristics as a result of analyzing the I-V curve obtained by the CTLM measurement with the gap spacing of 28 μm. That is, the n-type ohmic contact layer used in the embodiment of the invention has high thermal stability and forms an ohmic contact with the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. - According to the result of the experiment, the n-type ohmic contact layer used in the embodiment of the invention has the excellent result when it is grown on the Ga-polar face of the n-type nitride semiconductor layer. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The n-type ohmic contact layer can be applied to an n-polar face, that is, a vertical light emitting device.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the nitride semiconductorlight emitting device 40 according to this embodiment includes aconductive substrate 44, and a high reflectionohmic contact layer 47, a p-typenitride semiconductor layer 43, anactive layer 42, an n-typenitride semiconductor layer 41, and an n-typeohmic contact layer 45, which are sequentially formed on theconductive substrate 44. Further, an n-type electrode 46 is formed on an upper surface of the n-typeohmic contact layer 45. - This embodiment of the invention corresponds to a vertical nitride semiconductor light emitting device. The vertical nitride semiconductor light emitting device may be manufactured by using a known method. That is, after the n-type
nitride semiconductor layer 41, theactive layer 42, and the p-typenitride semiconductor layer 43 are sequentially grown on a sapphire substrate for nitride single crystal growth or the like, the high reflectionohmic contact layer 47 and theconductive substrate 44, which is a support substrate, are formed thereon by using a plating method or a bonding method, and then the sapphire substrate is removed therefrom. Further, since light generated from theactive layer 42 is generally emitted toward the n-type electrode 46, preferably, in this embodiment, the n-typeohmic contact layer 45 and the n-type electrode 46 may have almost the same width in terms of light extraction efficiency. - Besides the above-described difference, the components represented by the same terms can be considered as the same components in
FIG. 2 . New components will be only described. - The high reflection
ohmic contact layer 47 may have reflexibility of 70% or more and form an ohmic contact with the p-typenitride semiconductor layer 43. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The high reflectionohmic contact layer 47 may be at least one layer formed of a material selected from the group consisting of Ag, Ni, Al, Rh, Pd, Ir, Ru, Mg, Zn, Pt, Au, and a combination thereof. Preferably, the high reflectionohmic contact layer 47 may be formed of Ni/Ag, Zn/Ag, Ni/Al, Zn/Al, Pd/Ag, Pd/Al, Ir/Ag, Ir/Au, Pt/Ag, Pt/Al, or Ni/Ag/Pt. - The
conductive substrate 44 is included in the final components of the vertical light emitting device. Theconductive substrate 44 supports a light emitting structure having a relatively small thickness when performing a process, such as removal of the single crystal growth substrate. Further, theconductive substrate 44 may be provided as a bonding region with respect to a PCB by using a conductive adhesive layer and serve as a p-type electrode. Theconductive substrate 44 may be coupled to the light emitting structure by using a plating method or a wafer bonding method and may be formed of a material, such as Si, Cu, Ni, Au, W, or Ti. -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a nitride semiconductor light emitting device according to still another embodiment of the present invention, which is a modification of the embodiment ofFIG. 4 . - Like the nitride semiconductor light emitting device shown in
FIG. 4 , a nitride semiconductorlight emitting device 50 according to this embodiment includes aconductive substrate 54 and a high reflectionohmic contact layer 58, a p-typenitride semiconductor layer 53, anactive layer 52, an n-typenitride semiconductor layer 51, and an n-typeohmic contact layer 55 including first andsecond layers conductive substrate 54. An n-type electrode 56 is formed on the n-typeohmic contact layer 55. - Further, a
GaN substrate 57 is formed between the n-typenitride semiconductor layer 51 and the n-typeohmic contact layer 55. - Since the
GaN substrate 57 is provided as a nitride single crystal growth substrate and has electrical conductivity, theGaN substrate 57 does not need to be removed after the growth of a light emitting structure but can be left in the finallight emitting device 50. Instead of theGaN substrate 57, different substrates formed of materials having electrical conductivity, for example, a SiC substrate may be used as a nitride single crystal growth substrate if a person skilled in the art can easily select the substrate. - Besides the above-described difference, other components represented by the same terms can be considered as the same components in
FIG. 4 . Thus, a description thereof will be omitted. - As set forth above, according to the exemplary embodiments of the invention, it is possible to provide a nitride semiconductor light emitting device that includes an n-type electrode having thermal stability and excellent electrical characteristics without heat treatment.
- Further, according to the embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide a method of manufacturing a nitride semiconductor light emitting device optimized to obtain the excellent thermal and electrical characteristics.
- While the present invention has been shown and described in connection with the exemplary embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
