Finally, a thin AlN cap layer (50 nm) was grown on the GaN surface. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements before and after heat treatment were carried out. Different annealing temperatures (500-700 °C) were investigated. Under dark condition, the Schottky barrier height (SBH) derived by the I-V method is 0.48 eV for as-deposited Ni/AlN/GaN/AlN Schottky diode. On the other hand, the effective barrier heights of 0.52, 0.55, and 0.57 eV were obtained for Schottky diodes annealed at 500, 600, and 700 °C, respectively. We found that the SBHs of annealed Schottky diodes under dark and illuminated conditions were observed to be higher relative to the as-deposited Schottky diode. When annealed at 700 °C, the resulting Schottky diodes show a dark current of as low as 5.05 × 10-5 A at 10 V bias, which is about two orders of magnitude lower than that of as-deposited Ni/AlN/GaN/AlN Schottky diode (2.37 × 10-3 A at 10 V bias). When the sample was under illumination condition, the change of current was significant for the annealed samples as compared to the as-deposited sample. 2009-08-02T08:06:47Z 2009-08-02T08:06:47Z 2009-07 Article Journal of Alloys and Compounds, vol.481 (1-2), 2009, pages L15-L19 0925-8388 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/09258388 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/6663 en Elsevier B.V.
