- LED ultraviolet light emitting diode
- GaN-based LEDs comprise a multilayer structure in which n-type and p-type GaN-based semiconductor layers are stacked on a substrate (most commonly on a sapphire substrate with the n-type GaN-based semiconductor layer in contact with the substrate), and I j .Ga j . j .N/GaN multiple quantum well layers are sandwiched between the p-type and n-type GaN layers.
- a number of methods for growing the multilayer structure are known in the art, including metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCND), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE).
- p-type Ga ⁇ -based semiconductor layers formed by growth methods behave like a semi-insulating or high-resistive material. This is thought to result from hydrogen passivation caused by hydrogen that is present in the reaction chamber complexing with the p-type dopant and thus preventing the dopant from behaving as an active carrier.
- p-type Ga ⁇ -based semiconductor materials are thermally annealed to activate the p-type carriers. However, even after thermal annealing, the resistivity of p-type Ga ⁇ -based semiconductor materials remains relatively high.
- a p-electrode typically is formed to cover substantially the entire surface of the p-type Ga ⁇ -based semiconductor layer in a Ga ⁇ -based light-emitting device in order to ensure uniform application of current to the entire layer and obtaining uniform light emission from the light-emitting device.
- this geometry requires that the p-electrode be light-transmissive so that light emitted by the light-emitting device can be observed through the p-electrode.
- the p- electrode layer must be very thin in order to be light transmissive and thus, it is difficult to attach a bonding wire directly to it.
- a bonding pad is used to attach the bonding wire to the p-electrode.
- metallic materials used in the bonding pad can migrate into the p-electrode causing degradation of the light- transmission and ohmic property of the electrode. In the past, this problem has been particularly encountered when the bonding pad includes aluminum.

- a bonding pad containing a metallic material that includes aluminum is formed such that it is in contact with the second electrode.
- the bonding pad is formed by forming a layer of palladium in contact with the second electrode and forming a layer of aluminum over the palladium, hi another embodiment, the bonding pad is formed by forming a layer of palladium in contact with the second electrode, forming a layer of aluminum over the palladium, and forming a layer of gold over the layer of aluminum.
- the bonding pad and the first electrode are formed from substantially the same metallic material. In this embodiment, the bonding pad and the first electrode maybe formed simultaneously.
- a first layer of palladium is formed in contact with the n-type gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer while simultaneously forming a first layer of palladium in contact with the second electrode (i.e., the p-electrode).
- a layer of aluminum is then simultaneously formed over the layer of palladium in contact with n-type gallium nitride-based semiconductor layer and the layer of palladium in contact with the second electrode, thereby simultaneously forming the first electrode and the bonding pad.
- a layer of gold is simultaneously formed over the first electrode and the bonding. More preferably, after deposition of the metallic layers forming the first electrode and the bonding pad, the first electrode and the bonding pad are simultaneously annealed.
- Bonding pads formed by the method of the invention adhere satisfactorily to the bonding wire and do not degrade the light transmission or ohmic property of the p-electrode.
