摘要
Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) contacts to p-GaN were investigated by using CuxS interlayers under different annealing temperatures. It is shown that the GZO/CuxS contacts annealed at 300 and 400 degrees C for 3 min in air exhibited non-ohmic characteristics. However, annealing the contacts at 500 and 600 degrees C in air resulted in linear current-voltage characteristics. The lowest specific contact resistivity of 1.66 x 10(-2) Omega cm(2) was obtained for the contact annealed at 500 degrees C. To account for the formation mechanism of the ohmic contact, AES and XPS were used to analyze the interfacial properties of the GZO/CuxS/p-GaN and CuxS/p-GaN interfaces, respectively. The possible reasons were discussed in detail, suggesting that the interfacial reactions and atomic diffusions are thought to be responsible for forming such a low contact resistance.
