Abstract

Low-resistance ohmic contacts to the Si-doped In0.17Ga0.83N (nd = 1.63 × 1019 cm-3) were obtained using the W metallization schemes. It is shown that the specific contact resistances improve with increasing annealing temperature. The annealing of the contact at 950°C for 90 s results in a specific contact resistance of 2.7 × 10-8 Ω cm2. X-ray diffraction results show that a β-W2N phase is formed at the interface between the W and InGaN when annealed at temperatures >500°C. Conduction mechanisms in the contacts are found to depend on annealing temperature. Possible explanations are given to describe the annealing temperature dependence of the specific contact resistance.
