Dependence of contact resistance on current for ohmic contacts to quantized Hall resistors
نویسنده
چکیده
The dependence of contact resistance on current has been measured for a large number of ohmic contacts to quantized Hall resistors under quantum Hall effect conditioDS.Five different functional forms of current dependence are observed at low currents. The trend from best to worst quality can be correlated with the density of defects in the contact, regardless of the physical cause of the defects. The consequences of different types of contact resistance current dependence on the metrological use of samples are discussed. .

Ohmic and Schottky contacts are playing a major role in the field of ZnO based electronics device fabrication. It is seen that several works have been reported on metallization scheme, contacts with this semiconducting material. But, the thickness of semiconducting material and the choosing of substrate still remain imperfect and inefficient for advanced IC technology. To estimate contact resis...
متن کاملDependence of ohmic contact resistance on barrier thickness of AlN/GaN HEMT structures
A multi-faceted study on the reduction of ohmic contact resistance to AlN/GaN-based heterostructures is presented. Minimum contact resistance of 0.5 X mm has been achieved by partially etching the AlN barrier layer using a chlorine-based plasma dry-etch prior to ohmic contact metallization. For thin GaNcapped AlN/GaN heterostructures, we find it is necessary to remove the GaN cap in the vicinit...

Ohmic contact electrodes for four-wire resistance and Hall measurements were fabricated on an individual single-crystal bismuth nanowire encapsulated in a cylindrical quartz template. Focused ion beam processing was utilized to expose the side surfaces of the bismuth nanowire in the template, and carbon and tungsten electrodes were deposited on the bismuth nanowire in situ to achieve electrical...

Many ac quantized Hall resistance experiments have measured significant values of ac longitudinal resistances under temperature and magnetic field conditions in which the dc longitudinal resistance values were negligible. We investigate the effect of non-vanishing ac longitudinal resistances on measurements of the quantized Hall resistances by analyzing equivalent circuits of quantized Hall eff...

Careful testing over a period of 6 years of a number of GaAs/AlGaAs quantized Hall resistors (QHR) made with alloyed AuGe/Ni contacts, both with and without passivating silicon nitride coatings, has resulted in the identification of important mechanisms responsible for degradation in the performance of the devices as resistance standards. Covering the contacts with a film, such as a low-tempera...
