Abstract: We investigate the contact characteristics of bi-layer thin films,Ti(20nm)/Al(200nm) on Si-doped n-type Al0.6Ga0.4N films grown on sapphire substrate.The surface treatment was aqua regia boiling before metallization and annealing after metallization at different conditions in N2 ambient.High resolution X-ray diffractometery analysis was carried out on the contacts and the surface interfaces of these conditions were compared.A specific contact resistivity ρc was determined using the circular transmission line method via current-voltage measurements.A ρc of 3.42E-4 Ω·cm2 was achieved when annealed at 670℃ for 90s.Then,this ideal ohmic contact was used in back-illuminated solar-blind AlGaN p-i-n detectors and the detectors’ performances,such as spectral responsivity,dark-current,and breakdown voltage were optimized.
