AlGaN/GaN MSM photodetectors with photo-CVD annealed Ni/Au semi-transparent contacts

چکیده
AlGaN/GaN metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors with photo-chemical vapour deposition (photo-CVD) annealed Ni/Au semi-transparent contacts were fabricated. It was found that the transmittances of Ni/Au films increased while the photodetector dark currents became significantly lower after annealing. With a 5 V applied bias, it was found that the photocurrent to dark current contrast ratio and the maximum responsivity were 2.3 × 104 and 0.166 A W−1 for photodetector photo-CVD annealed at 550 ◦C.

Chemical analysis of Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures
Ohmic contacts to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, which have low contact resistance and a good surface morphology, are required for the development of high temperature, high power and high frequency electronic devices. The paper presents the investigation of a Ti/Al based Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contact to AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Multilayer metallization of Ti/Al/Ni/Au was evaporated by an electron g...
متن کاملHigh spectral response of self-driven GaN-based detectors by controlling the contact barrier height
The GaN-based material system is well suited to application as a photodetector material for operation in the 200–365 nm wavelength range because of its tunable wide direct bandgap. In addition, photodetectors made using this material system also have the advantages of being solid-state and small in size, with good chemical and thermal stability, thereby saving energy in operation and having lon...
متن کاملHigh-speed characterization of solar- blind AlxGa1−xN p–i–n photodiodes
We report on the temporal pulse response measurements of solar-blind AlxGa1−xN-based heterojunction p–i–n photodiodes. High-speed characterization of the fabricated photodiodes was carried out at 267 nm. The bandwidth performance was enhanced by an order of magnitude with the removal of the absorbing p+ GaN cap layer. 30 μm diameter devices exhibited pulse responses with ∼70 ps pulse width and ...
متن کاملModeling of High Temperature GaN Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...
متن کاملCharacterization of Pd/Ni/Au ohmic contacts on p-GaN
A low-resistance ohmic contact to Mg-doped p-type GaN grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with a carrier concentration of 2 · 10 cm 3 using Pd/Ni/Au metallization was formed. An anneal at 500 C for 1 min in a flowing N2 ambient produced an excellent ohmic contact with a specific contact resistivity as low as 2.4 · 10 5 X cm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger ...
