摘要
Ohmic contacts to n-type GaN with low contact resistance were developed lay (NH4)(2)S-x and KOH+(NH4)(2)S-x surface treatments prior to Ti/Al metal deposition The lowest specific contact resistance of 3.0 x 10(-6) Ohm -cm(2) was obtained for Ti/Al contacts in an (NH4)(2)S-x-treated GaN layer alloyed at 300 degreesC for 3 min. To obtain the lowest specific contact resistance for a low temperature alloy, the (NH4)(2)S-x treatment conditions for both (NH4)(2)S-x and KOH+(NH4)(2)S-x-treated n-GaN layers have been investigated and the mechanism for ohmic formation in low temperature alloys analyzed.
