Abstract:
By conducting the experiments of circular transmission line method (CTLM) on samples with different thicknesses of p-InGaN, we find that the specific contact resistance between p-InGaN and Ni/Au increases as the thickness of InGaN increases. When the thickness of InGaN is less than a certain value, the specific contact resistance between p-InGaN and Ni/Au is lower than that of p-GaN's. It is attributed to the situation that the tunneling barrier width is drastically reduced by polarization-induced electric fields in the strained p-InGaN layers resulting in an increase of the hole tunneling probability through the barrier and a significant decrease of the specific contact resistance. However, by the infection of the surface morphology of the samples and the intrinsic surface electron accumulation of InN, the contact characteristics become worse when the thickness of InGaN excesses the critical thickness.
