説明:

(abstract)

We demonstrate improved ohmic contact on n-type AlN using Zr/Al/Mo/Au metal stack with contact resistivities of ~10-3 Ω⋅cm2 at 25°C and ~10-5 Ω⋅cm2 at 500°C, which is over one and two orders of magnitude lower than Ti-based contacts, respectively. Temperature-dependent I-V characteristics reveal thermionic-field emission-dominated transport at the Zr/AlN interface, leading to improved conductivity and ohmic behavior above 400°C. Record-low specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) is achieved here using Zr-based cathode among all lateral AlN Schottky barrier diodes at comparable breakdown voltages. The devices reveal 10× enhanced Baliga Figure of Merit at 300°C and 500°C due to significantly lowered Ron,sp < 50 mΩ⋅cm2.
