CONTACT FOR A SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include a semiconductor structure comprising a III-nitride light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A contact disposed on the p-type region includes a transparent conductive material in direct contact with the p-type region, a reflective metal layer, and a transparent insulating material disposed between the transparent conductive layer and the reflective metal layer. In a plurality of openings in the transparent insulating material, the transparent conductive material is in direct contact with the reflective metal layer.
