摘要
Good Ti/Al/Ti/Au Ohmic contacts were achieved in undoped-AlGaN/GaN HEMT structures at 500 degrees C (measured by a thermocouple) by using an Ohmic contact recess etch. The Ohmic recess etch is deeper than the undoped AlGaN layer and hence reaches the two-dimensional electron gas. Good morphology and well-defined edge profile are also achieved. Because of the low temperature, this process can tolerate quite some water vapor related issue during Ohmic contact anneal. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
