Formation of low resistance ohmic contacts in GaN-based high electron mobility transistors with BCl3 surface plasma treatment

Abstract: A BCl3 surface plasma treatment technique to reduce the resistance and to increase the uniformity of ohmic contacts in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors with a GaN cap layer has been established. This BCl3 plasma treatment was performed by an inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching system under conditions that prevented any recess etching. The average contact resistances without plasma treatment, with SiCl4, and with BCl3 plasma treatment were 0.34, 0.41, and 0.17 Ω mm, respectively. Also, t… Show more

“…In addition, the surface barrier high of GaN surface after BCl 3 plasma treatment is lower than that of HCl acid wet chemical. Because of the BCl 3 plasma can increase the surface donor-type density of GaN, which contributes to lower the ohmic contact resistance [19]. It is important to from TiN and have donor type defect on GaN [22].…”

“…The ρ c of GaN with recipe 4 is reduced by ~22% compared to that of GaN with recipe 1. The variation of the specific contact resistances on GaN with different chemical recipe depends on the Ga-O to Ga-N ratio of Ga3d peak from XPS analysis [19].…”

“…[5,6]. В недавней работе [7] для формирования низкоомного контакта к AlGaN/GaN-структуре приме-нялась плазменная обработка верхнего cap-слоя GaN с помощью индуктивного разряда (Inductively Coupled Plasma или ICP-режим) в газе BCl 3 . В данном режиме скорость травления GaN слоя была равной нулю на временах обработки образца.…”

“…В данном режиме скорость травления GaN слоя была равной нулю на временах обработки образца. Авторы [7] также пока-зали, что низкое контактное сопротивление было до-стигнуто в результате удаления поверхностного окисла и образования вакансионных дефектов в поверхност-ном слое GaN в результате плазменной обработки. Однако детали технологического режима обработки и процессов, протекающих на поверхности слоя GaN при такой обработки, остались неясными.…”
