摘要
Various metal films and rapid thermal annealing conditions were investigated to improve the Ohmic contact to AlGaN/GaN heterostuctures. Less than 1 Omega.mm contact resistance has been obtained reproducibly. Our best contact resistivity reaches 0.039 Omega.mm, corresponding to a contact resistance of 5.38 x 10(-8)Omega.cm(2). The fabricated high electron mobility transistors with a 0.25 mu m length gate exhibit a cutoff frequency f(T) of 60 GHz and an f(max) of 100 GHz.
