Abstract

The effect of Ti on the contact resistance between metal electrodes and GaN nanowires was investigated. Five groups of devices having Ti/Au electrodes with different Ti/Au compositions were prepared and the I-V characteristics were measured. The resistance was reduced from 0.57 Gω to 1.3 kω as the thickness of Ti increases from 0 to 30 nm. The observed resistance value of 1.3 kω was found to be three orders of magnitude smaller than previously reported values. The results show that the metal/SiO₂ interface structure probed by self-assembled monolayers (SAM) is also consistent with the formation of TiO_x.
