We report on the influence of incorporation of Ta2O5thin film at the interface of Au/GaN by means of e-beam evaporation technique. The fabricated Au/Ta2O5/n-GaN MIS junctions have been analysed usingI–Vmeasurements and were extended to a voltage range of ± 20 V. The Schottky diode parameters for instanceΦbo,nandRSvalues are evaluated usingI–Vcurves at room temperature. The statistical distribution analysis provides the mean ‘Φbo’ value of 0.85 eV with deviation of 0.00181 eV and mean value from ‘n’ is 1.36 with a normal deviation of 0.00562. Two important electrical parameters such asRSandRshvalues are also extracted fromI–Vcharacteristics. Furthermore, Cheung, Norde, modified Norde, Hernandez and Chattopadhyay methods are used to evaluate the Schottky barrier parameters fromI–Vdata. The comparison is made between the extracted electrical parameters such asn,ΦboandRSfromI–Vcharacteristics of Au/Ta2O5/n-GaN MIS junctions and are in well agreement with each other. Under forward-bias, the fabricated Au/Ta2O5/n-GaN MIS junction conduction mechanisms such as ohmic and SCL were found to be dominant at lower and higher voltage regimes, respectively. By fitting reverse-bias region ofI–Vcurves, PF conduction mechanism was found to be dominant at the interfaces of Au/Ta2O5/n-GaN. In conclusion, the obtained superior rectification ratio of 6.06 × 104and higher SBH of 0.87 eV was ascribed to the purposefully deposited undoped GaN buffer layer between epitaxial GaN and sapphire substrate.
