[16a-Z16-4] Two-dimensional characterization of n-GaN Schottky contacts formed by printed method using Ni nanoink
Keywords:Gallium nitride, printed electronics, scanning internal photoemission microscopy
Two-dimensional characterization of n-GaN Schottky contacts formed by printing method using Ni nanoink was performed by scanning internal photoemission microscopy (SIPM). The sample annealed at 400 °C showed a large series resistance and nonuniformity over the electrode. The sample annealed at 500 °C obtained better I-V characteristics with a large qφB value of 1.21 eV and better uniformity. The sample annealed at 600 °C lost much of its rectification. SIPM indicated that the printing method using Ni nanoink is a candidate to form Schottky contacts on n-GaN.
