Abstract:Various (Au, Pt, Ir) M-S and M-O-S type contact to N-polar GaN layer on Si(111) via oxide buffers were fabricated and characterized. The influence of rapid thermal annealing processes on electrical properties and contact morphology was examined. Iridium based contacts, annealed in 700 °C, exhibit lowest dark current (Φ B = ~1.1 eV) and are thus identified as most suitable for UV photodetector applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
