The formation features of a low-temperature Ta/Al-based ohmic contact to Al_0.25Ga_0.75N/GaN heteroepitaxial structures on silicon substrates are studied. The fabricated ohmic contacts based on Ta/Al/Ti (10/300/20 nm) compositions have a low contact resistance (0.4 Ω mm) and smooth surface morphology of the contact area and its edge after 60-s annealing at T = 550°C in a nitrogen atmosphere.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
