Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for reducing a contact resistance of n-type AlGaN-based materials and an application thereof. The method for reducing the contact resistance of the n-type AlGaN-based materials comprises: an n-AlGaN layer with a depth of 1 / 5-1 / 2 is first removed by etching and the surface of the etched n-AlGaN layer is subjected to a high-temperature treatment. The methodsolves the ohmic contact problem in the existing n-AlGaN material with a high Al composition, significantly reduces the contact resistance of the n-AlGaN material with the high Al composition and improves the electrical properties of the material. The working voltage of the related devices produced therefrom can be greatly reduced, the heat dissipation of the devices can be greatly reduced, and the performance of the devices is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to a method for reducing the contact resistance of n-type AlGaN materials and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] Ultraviolet LEDs, especially AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LEDs (DUV-LEDs) with a luminous wavelength of less than 280nm, due to their great application prospects in the fields of ultraviolet curing, medical treatment, military affairs, water / air purification, sterilization and disinfection, etc., have been widely used in recent years. It has attracted the attention of countless domestic and foreign researchers and has become one of the research hotspots of wide bandgap semiconductors. [0003] However, for AlGaN with high Al composition used in deep ultraviolet LD, LED and other optoelectronic devices, its n-type contact performance is mainly limited by two aspects compared with GaN materials. increase, the gradual increase of deep-level defects leads to ...
