Abstract

We have investigated the influence of TiN growth temperature on the contact resistance in TiN/SiC and TiN/GaN heterostructures. Epitaxial TiN layers grown at temperatures above 600°C formed low resistance contacts to n-type 6H-SiC and GaN of 1.1× 10−3 Ωcm2 and 7.9 ×10−5 Ωcm2, respectively. Structural and electrical characterization of TiN thin films is discussed.
