Abstract

The Mg doped AlN/AlxGa1-xN (0.03 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) short period superlattices (SPSLs) were grown by gas source molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) sapphire substrates. The average AlN mole fraction is ∼ 0.7 and the hole concentration is ∼ 7×1017 cm-3. Contacts formed to the SPSLs using Ni/Au bilayer are found to have specific contact resistance ∼ 5×10-5 Ωcm2 near room temperature and to show weak temperature dependence attributed to activation of Mg acceptors in the AlN barriers of SPSLs. These p-SPSLs are attractive for fabrication of transparent low resistive ohmic contacts for deep UV LEDs.
