Ohmic contact formation of gallium nitride and electrical properties improvement

In this chapter, in order to improve the electrical conduction of Mg-doped p-type GaN contacts, enhancement of hydrogen release from GaN substrates is attempted. The electrical conduction profiles of the p-type GaN/Ni contact annealed at 573 K and 673 K for 3600 s while subjected to current flow sho...
