摘要：

A two-step rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process was investigated for electrical activation of magnesium doped GaN layer. The samples were studied by room temperature Hall measurements and IN curve. In the two-step RTA process, the first low temperature step (600 degrees C) with a long annealing time (4 min) was followed by the second high temperature (850 degrees C) step with a short annealing time. A hole concentration of 1.39 x 10(18)cm(-3) was achieved for the activated sample. And the specific contact resistance for Ni/Au-contacted p-GaN was determined to be 1.8 x 10(4) Omega.cm(2), These results show that the two-step RTA process significantly improves the electrical properties of P-GaN layer compared to the one-step RTA process.
