  • Publication number: 20120292634
    Abstract: Disclosed are a microarray type nitride light emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same. More particularly, a uniform current distribution property is ensured by dividing a fine light emitting region by using a first transparent contact layer according to a resistance change property in heat treatment of a material of a transparent conducting oxide used as a transparent contact layer, and connecting the divided light emitting regions by using a second transparent contact layer.

  • Patent number: 7964882
    Abstract: A nitride semiconductor-based light emitting device is provided. The nitride semiconductor-based light emitting device is formed of a nitride semiconductor having a wurtzite lattice structure with the Ga face. The device has a substrate, a buffer layer, a first p-type contact layer, a second p-type contact layer, a first hole diffusion layer, a second hole diffusion layer, a light emitting active region, a second electron diffusion layer, a first electron diffusion layer, a second n-type contact layer and a first n-type contact layer, which are sequentially stacked. Such a structure may effectively employ quasi-two-dimensional free electron and free hole gases formed at heterojunction interfaces due to the spontaneous polarization and the piezoelectric polarization in the wurtzite lattice structure with the Ga face, and thus enhances the emission uniformity and emission efficiency of the light emitting device.

  • Publication number: 20110017289
    Abstract: Provided are a CIGS solar cell and a method of fabricating the CIGS solar cell. In the method, a buffer layer exposing protrusions is formed. Then, a window electrode layer having an uneven surface conforming with the protrusions of the buffer layer is formed. Thus, an additional process for making the upper surface of a window electrode layer rough is unnecessary in order to decrease surface reflectance of incident sunlight and increase the solar cell efficiency, so that productivity can be improved.
