In a GaN-based light-emitting diode structure, a transparent conductive oxide layer is formed as a window layer on a GaN contact layer having a surface textured layer, and the textured layer acts as an ohmic contact layer with the transparent conductive oxide layer. Therefore, it is possible to reduce effectively the contact resistance and the working voltage, while the optical guiding effect is interrupted by the textured layer, to obtain thereby an enhancement of light extraction efficiency and thus an increase in the external quantum yield. |
