    Abstract

    We have shown that Zr-based metallization can effectively remove hydrogen from the p-type GaN subsurface, which eventually leads to the formation of an ohmic contact. As the release of hydrogen starts at ∼900°C, the thermal stability of the contact system is of particular importance. The remarkable thermal behavior of the ZrN/ZrB2 metallization is associated to the micro structure of each individual Zr-based compound, as well as to the interfacial crystalline accommodation.
