Abstract |
We report on the characteristics of indium-oxide-doped ZnO (IZO) ohmic contact to p-GaN. The IZO ohmic contact layer was deposited on p-GaN by a Roll-to-Roll (RTR) sputter method. IZO contact film with a thickness of 360, 230 and 100 nm yielded an ohmic contact resistance of 4.70×10.4, 5.95×10.2, 4.85× 10.1 Ωcm2 on p-GaN when annealed at 600℃ for 1 min under a nitrogen ambient, respectively. While the transmittance of IZO film with a thickness of 360 nm slightly increased in the wavelength range of 380-800 nm after annealing, the transmittance rapidly increased up to 80% after annealing at 600℃ in the wavelength range of 380~430 nm because the crystallization of IZO film and created Ga vacancies near the p-GaN surface region were affected by the annealing. These results indicate that ohmic contact resistance and transmittance of the IZO films improved. |
