A Pt (20nm)/Ag (50nm)/Au (30nm) metallization scheme has been investigated for producing low-resistance ohmic contacts to moderately doped p-type GaN (1.3×1017cm−3). It is shown that the as-deposited contacts exhibit a linear I–V characteristic with a specific contact resistance of 4.43×10−3Ωcm2. The Pt/Ag/Au contact produced a specific contact resistance as low as 1.70×10−4Ωcm2 after annealing at 800°C for 1min in a N2 atmosphere. It is further shown that the surface morphology of the contact annealed at 800°C (RMS roughness of 19.9nm) became somewhat degraded compared with that of the as-deposited one (RMS roughness of 3.3nm). Based on the Auger electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction results, possible explanations for the improvement of the ohmic behavior are described.
