Thermal degradation of Ohmic contacts on semipolar (11–22) GaN films grown on m -plane (1–100) sapphire substrates
JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY(2012)
摘要
Semipolar (11–22) GaN films were grown on m -plane (1–100) sapphire substrates by using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The linewidths of the omega rocking curves of the semipolar GaN films were 498 arcsec along the [11–23] GaN direction and 908 arcsec along the [10–10] GaN direction. The properties of the Ti/Al/Ni/Au metal contact were investigated using transmission-line-method patterns oriented in both the [11–23] GaN and the [10–10] GaN directions of semipolar (11–22) GaN. The minimum specific contact resistance of ∼3.6 × 10 −4 Ω·cm −2 was obtained on as-deposited metal contacts. The Ohmic contact properties of semipolar (11–22) GaN became degraded with increasing annealing temperature above 400 °C. The thermal degradation of the metal contacts may be attributed to the surface property of N-polarity on the semipolar (11–22) GaN films. Also, the semipolar (11–22) GaN films did not show clear anisotropic behavior of the electrical properties for different azimuthal angles.
