Realization of low specific-contact-resistance on N-polar GaN surfaces using heavily-Ge-doped n-type GaN films deposited by low-temperature reactive sputtering technique

We developed a low-temperature ohmic contact formation process for N-polar GaN surfaces. Specific-contact-resistances of 9.4 × 10 ^−5 and 2.0 × 10 ^−5 Ω cm ^2 were obtained using Ti/Al metal stacks on heavily-germanium-doped GaN films, which were deposited at 500 °C and 600 °C using a radical-assist...
