Abstract

Using solid-phase regrowth technique, Pd/Ge contact has been made on the GaN layer, and very good ohmic behavior was observed for the contact. The Photolumincscence (PL) spectra for different structures formed by the Pd/Ge contact, GaN layer, sapphire substrate, and mirror were studied, and a defect-assisted transition was found at 450 nm related to Ge impurity. The results show that the microcavity effect strongly influences the PL spectra of the band-gap and defect-assisted transitions.
