We investigated electrical characteristics of the Mg-doped AlGaN contact layers for DUV LEDs. We found that the contact resistances were exponentially increased from 0.14 to 15.1 Ω∙cm2 with an increase of AlN mole fraction from 0.37 to 0.58. Also, the offset voltages were linearly increased from 0.22 to 3.62 V.
While the LED with the AlGaN contact showed higher light output power, its operating voltage at 0.5 mA was 0.8 V higher than that with the GaN contact, showing a reasonable agreement with the abovementioned offset voltage. Further decreases of the offset voltage are important to obtain high-efficiency DUV LEDs.
