摘要: Ti/Al/Ni/Au Ohmic contact metallization on InAlN/GaN heterostructures both with and without a thin GaN cap layer was annealed at different temperatures. The minimum transfer resistance for the contacts of 0.65 Ω  mm (specific resistivity 2×10−5 Ω cm2) achieved after 800 °C annealing structures cap, while those exhibited their lowest higher morphology showed considerable roughening by 750 °C but carrier mobility stable until temperatures 850 °C. Diffuse scattering experiments that morphological roughness interface increased as result these data were consistent outdiffusion Ga into InAlN. Unpassivated high electron transistors gate dimension 0.7×180 μm2 fabricated using maximum drain current 1.3 A/mm an extrinsic transconductance 366 mS/mm. presence G...
