摘要: High electronic density is achieved by polarization doping without an impurity dopant in graded AlGaN films. Low specific contact resistance is studied on the polarization-doped AlGaN/GaN heterojunctions by using the transmission line method (TLM). The sheet density of polarization-doped AlGaN/GaN heterojunction is 6×1014 cm -2 at room temperature. The linearly graded material structure is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction. The carrier concentration and mobility are characterized by a temperature-dependent Hall measurement. Multiple-layer metal (Ti/Al/Ti/Au) is deposited and annealed at 650℃ to realize the Ohmic contacts on the graded AlGaN/GaN heterojunctions.
