ABSTRACTTo study the formation of ohmic contacts, several metals have been deposited on p-types ZnTe and ZnSe epitaxial layers. The metals were deposited on the layers either by simple evaporation or by electroplating. The current-voltage characteristics associated with each metal contact were measured. The preliminary results of these measurements indicate that electroplating is a better technique for making ohmic contact to these layers.

We investigated the influence of the In0.17Ga0.83N:Mg contact layer grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on the resistivity of p-type Ni/Au contacts. We demonstrate that the Schottky barrier width for p-type contact is less than 5 nm. We compare circular transmission line measurements with a p-n diode current-voltage characteristics and show that discrepancies between these two methods can occur if surface quality is deteriorated. It is found that the most efficient contacts to p-type material consist of In0.17Ga0.83N:Mg contact layer with Mg doping level as high as 2 × 1020 cm–3.

Heteroepitaxial n-ZnO films have been grown on commercial p-type 6H-SiC substrates by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy, and n-ZnO/p-SiC heterojunction mesa structures have been fabricated and their photoresponse properties have been studied. Current-voltage characteristics of the structures had a very good rectifying diode-like behavior with a leakage current less than 2 x 10-4 A/cm2 at -10 V, a breakdown voltage greater than 20 V, a forward turn on voltage of ∼5 V, and a forward current of ∼2 A/cm2 at 8 V. Photosensitivity of the diodes, when illuminated from ZnO side, was studied at room temperature and photoresponsivity of as high as 0.045 A/W at -7.5 V reverse bias was observed for photon energies higher than 3.0 eV.

AbstractOhmic contacts on p-type GaN have been investigated. High quality GaN epilayers on cplane sapphire were prepared using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy that utilized an inductively coupled rf nitrogen plasma source and solid source beams. The resulting film thickness and the doping concentration of the grown samples were in the range of 0.7–1.35 μm and 1018 – 1020/cm3, respectively. The metallization consisted of high work function metal bilayers which included a combinations of 25 nm-thick Ni, Ti, Pt and/or Cr and 200 nm-thick Au on the highly p-doped GaN in a transmission line model pattern. Ohmic contacts were formed by alloying the bi-layers using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at temperatures in the range of 300–700 °C for 1 min under nitrogen ambient. Current-voltage measurements showed that the specific contact resistance was as low as 1.2 × 10 −4 Ω–cm2 for the sample having 1.4 × 1020/cm3p-type doping concentration with a Cr/Au contact annealed at 500 °C for 1 min by RTA. Judging from the scanning Auger microscopy results and the glancing angle x-ray diffraction analysis, this resistance is attributed to Cr diffusion into the GaN layer.

AbstractA technique for in situ fabrication of aluminum-based Ohmic contacts to EuO by molecular-beam epitaxy is proposed. These contacts have a linear current–voltage curve and a contact resistance of 0.55 Ω mm and are stable in air. This suggests that the proposed technique holds promise for spintronic applications.
