Popis: | Ohmic contact formation on a p-GaN layer with a specific contact resistance of ρc=5×10-4 Ωcm2 has been achieved using a Pd/Mo electrode without the use of an alloying process. ρc was reduced to 2×10-4 Ωcm2 by annealing in vacuum at 500°C. The Pd/Mo electrode showed much improved ohmic-contact characteristics than the Ni/Mo electrode. Characterization by micro-Raman scattering revealed that the hole concentration increased in the p-GaN layer just under the Pd/Mo electrode with increasing annealing temperature. This cannot be explained by the removal of hydrogen. A decrease in the density of hole traps and an increase in the density of active acceptors, such as Ga vacancies, are considered to be the most significant contributing factors. |
