The effect of crystal polarity on the electrical properties of Ti/Al contacts to n-GaN substrate has been investigated. The Ti/Al contacts prepared on Ga-face n-GaN substrate became ohmic with a contact resistivity of 2×10−5 Ω cm2 after annealing at temperatures higher than 600 °C for 30 s. On the contrary, the contacts on N-face n-GaN substrate exhibited nonlinear current–voltage curve and high Schottky barrier heights over 1 eV were measured at the same annealing conditions. These results could be explained by opposite piezoelectric-field at GaN/AlN heterostructure resulted from different polarity of the GaN substrate.
