摘要
We report on the formation of high-quality nonalloyed Ti (30 nm)/Au (50 nm) ohmic contacts to n-type ZnO: Al using laser irradiation treatment. The electrical characteristics of the Ti/Au contacts are considerably improved when laser-irradiated. The specific contact resistances are measured to be similar to 10(-4) Omega cm(2) when the ZnO layers were laser irradiated, which is about two orders of magnitude lower than that of the as-grown sample. Based on electrical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results, a possible mechanism for the laser-irradiation-induced improvement is described. (c) 2005 The Electrochemical Society.
