We investigated the use of transparent conductive oxide for near‐ultraviolet light‐emitting diodes based on co‐sputtered gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ) and indium tin oxide (ITO). The electrical and optical properties of Ga 2 O 3 /ITO (IGTO) were observed to improve through hydrogen annealing, which resulted in a sheet resistance of 164 Ω/□ and an optical transmittance of 94% at increased carrier concentration and crystallization of the co‐sputtered film through hydrogen annealing. Moreover, ohmic‐like contacts were formed on the p‐GaN substrate with a specific contact resistance of 3.9 × 10 −1  Ω cm 2 .
