Hall and high resolution x-ray diffraction measurements are used to characterize the electrical and structural prosperities of the as-grown and annealed samples, respectively. The results of hall measurements show that after annealing, the Mg-doped AIGaN sample can not obtain the distinct hole concentration and can acquire a resistivity of 1.4 ×10^3 Ωcm. However, with the same annealing treatment, the GaN/AlGaN superlattice sample has a hole concentration of 1.7 × 10^17 cm-3 and a resistivity of 5.6Ωcm. The piezoelectric field in the GaN/AlGaN superlattices improves the activation efficiency of Mg acceptors, which leads to higher hole concentration and lower p-type resistivity.展开更多

The Pt Schottky contact and the Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contact are formed by evaporation. Both the forward and reverse currents of the device increase greatly when exposed to hydrogen gas. A shift of 0.3 V at 300 K is obtained at a fixed forward current after switching from N2 to 10%H2＋N2. The sensor responses under different concentrations from 50ppm H2 to 10%H2＋N2 at 373K are investigated. Time dependences of the device forward current at 0.5 V forward bias in N2 and air atmosphere at 300 and 373K are compared. Oxygen in air azcelerates the desorption of the hydrogen and the recovery of the sensor. Finally, the decrease of the Schottky barrier height and sensitivity Of the sensor are calculated.展开更多
