The multi-step rapid thermal annealing process of Ti/Al/Ni/Au can make good ohmic contacts with both low contact resistance and smooth surface morphology for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs.In this work,the mechanism of the multi-step annealing process is analyzed in detail by specific experimental methods.The experimental results show that annealing temperature and time are very important parameters when optimizing the Ti/Al layer for lower resistance and the Ni/Au layer for smooth surface morphology.It is very important for good ohmic contacts to balance the rate of various reactions by adjusting the annealing temperature and time.We obtained a minimum specific contact resistance of 3.22 × 10-7 Ω·cm2 on the un-doped AlGaN/GaN structure with an optimized multistep annealing process.
