研究目的
Analyzing experimental data on ohmic contacts based on single-layer and multilayer metallizations on GaN and (In, Al, Ga)N solid solutions, studying the contact resistance of Ti/Al/Mo/Au and Ti/Al/Mo/W/Au metallizations on undoped GaN, and investigating the dependences of contact resistance on GaN surface treatment and annealing regimes.
研究成果
Significant advances have been made in creating ohmic contacts to n-type (Al, Ga, In)N semiconductors, with contact resistance depending on doping level, metallization type, and annealing conditions. Multilayer compositions like Ti/Al/M/Au achieve ρc < 10^-5 Ω·cm2 for n-GaN, while p-GaN contacts typically have higher resistance around 10^-4 Ω·cm2. Rapid annealing at 500-900°C is used, but it affects surface morphology and diffusion. Surface pretreatment is crucial for removing oxides and improving adhesion. Future work should focus on optimizing these factors for better performance and stability.
研究不足
The study relies on analyzed experimental data rather than new experiments, which may limit the ability to control all variables. Surface treatment and annealing conditions are specific and may not be optimized for all scenarios. The complexity of multilayer metallizations and interactions during annealing could lead to variations in contact properties. Thermal stability and oxidation issues during annealing are constraints that need careful management.

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Procedures include degreasing samples, etching in specific solutions (e.g., HCl:H2O=1:10), plasma treatment, deposition of metal layers via electron beam, and rapid thermal annealing at 800-820°C for
5：5 minutes. Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis involves measuring specific contact resistance (ρc) using techniques like current-voltage characteristics, with data interpretation based on theoretical models of Schottky barriers and tunneling effects.
