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.

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.

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.

AbstractThe growth of GaN layers was carried out on c-plane sapphire substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using NH3. Undoped GaN layers were grown at 830°C with growth rates larger than 1 μm/h. Optical properties are characteristics of high quality GaN material and the linewidth of x-ray diffraction (0002) rocking curve is less than 350 arcsec. N- and p-type doping were achieved by using solid sources of Si and Mg. No post-growth annealing was needed to activate the Mg acceptors. As-grown GaN:Mg layers exhibit hole concentrations of 3×1017 cm−3and mobilities of 8 cm2/Vs at 300 K. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on GaN p-n homojunction have been processed. The turn on voltage is 3 V and the forward voltage is 3.7 V at 20 mA. The 300 K electroluminescence (EL) peaks at 390 nm.
