The study of the internal structure of any quantum mechanical systems such as nuclei, atom, molecules and solids form an integral part of different sets of orthogonal polynomials [1- 5]. In nuclear and high energy physics the study of exact solution of the Klein-Gordon equation (KGE) is of high importance for mixed scalar and vector potentials. However, the problem of exact solution of the KGE for a number of special potential has been of great interests in the recent years. Different techniques have been assumed by different authors to obtain the exact or approximate solution of the KGE with some typical potential. These methods include the Standard Method [1] Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics [2] Factorization Method [3], Asymptotic Iteration Method (AIM) [4], the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) Method [5] and others.
The potentials investigated with these techniques include, Manning Rosen potential [6-7], Hulthen potential [8-9], Woods-Saxon potential [10-11], pseudoharmonic[12-13] ,Eckart potential [14-15]harmonic potential [16], Kratzer potential [17-18], Mie-type potential [19], ring – shape non-spherical oscillator [20], Hartmann potential [21], Scarf potential [22], Poschl-Teller potential [23], five parameters exponential – like potential [24] among others.
The relativistic Klein-Gordon equations contain two major objects: the four-vector linear momentum operator and the scalar rest mass. This allows one to introduce two types of potential, (i) the four vector potential ( ) and (ii) the space time scalar potential ( ). Alberto et
al [25] have shown that when ( ) = ( ) or ( ) = − ( ), the KGE and Dirac equation share
the same energy spectrum. The choice of ( ) = ( ) = 2 ( ) have been shown by Alhaidari et al [26-30] to yield a non relativistic limit for the KGE. However, analytical solutions of the KGE are only possible for the s-wave with the orbital angular momentum quantum number = 0 for some potential [31-32]. On the other hand, the case ≠ 0, the KGE can only be solve approximately for some potentials using a suitable approximation techniques [33].
The Hylleraas potential is given by [34-35]
where
is the dissociation energy, with the function
and the intermediates quantities , , are defined by = with
multiparameter exponential type potential. This potential contains six parameters and it is very complicated and difficult to evaluate. Since Hylleraas [34] introduce this potential no much work have been reported on the bound state solution with this potential. Recently, we investigated the non-relativistic bound state solution with Hylleraas potential [36].
Motivated by the success in obtaining the bound state solution of the Schrödinger equation with the Hylleraas potentials. We are tempted to solve the solution of the KGE
equation with the Hylleraas potential for ( ) = ( ) .
The NU is based on solving the second order linear differential equation by reducing to a generalized equation of hyper-geometric type. This method has been used to solve the Schrödinger, Klein –Gordon and Dirac equation for different kind of potentials [28]. The second-order differential equation of the NU method has the form [5].

In the relativistic atomic units (ћ = = 1) for a spindle particle, the three dimensional radial s – wave of KGE is [37]

( ) function is Ψ ( , , ) = ( , ) is the spherical harmonic whose ( , ) ,where solutions is well-known [38]. Thus the radial part of the KGE becomes,
Now considering the case of equal scalar and vector Hylleraas potential, Eq. (15) becomes
Introducing the new variable, using Eq. (2), then it is straightforward to show that, Eq. (16)
reduces to the form,
where we have used the following physical parameters:
in order to find the solution of this equation, it is necessary to compare Eq. (4) with Eq. (17). By this comparison, we obtain the following polynomials:

Substituting these polynomials into Eq. (10), we obtain the ( ) function as

Now using Eqs. (43) and (44), we obtain the complicated energy eigenvalues of the KleinGordon equation with Hylleraas potential as
Equation(45) is rather complicated transcendental equation. However, the energy eigenvalues can be found by setting the Hyllerass parameters in Appendix A into equation (45).
Let us turn attention to find the radial wave function for potential. Using ( ), ( ) and ( ) in Eqs (7) and (9), we find
where = and
Then from Eq. (8), we obtain

Conclusion In this work, we used the NU method for Hylleraas potential to obtain the exact solution of the Klein-Gordon equation. We obtain the exact energy eigen values equation and the unnormalized radial wave function expressed in terms of the hypergeometric function.
Finally, this result will open ways for more research work on the bound state solution of the Klein-Gordon equation with the six parameter Hylleraas potential and this will leads many authors to study the bound state energy spectra of some diatomic molecules with Hylleraas potential [34-35].
