摘要
The dependence of ohmic contact resistance on the AlGaN layer thickness was evaluated for AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) structures. Mo/Al/Ti contacts were formed on AlGaN layers with various thicknesses. The observed resistance characteristics are discussed on the basis of a model in which the overall contact resistance is composed of a series of three resistance components. Different dependences on the AlGaN layer thickness was observed after annealing at low temperatures (800-850 degrees C) and at high temperatures (900-950 degrees C). It was determined that lowering the resistance at the metal/ AlGaN interface and that of the AlGaN layer is important for obtaining low-resistance ohmic contacts.
