In this paper we report the implementation of low resistance ohmic con
tacts to p-type ZnSSe and ZnMgSSe which involves the injection of hole
s from heavily doped ZnTe into an adjacent alloy layer(s) via graded b
and gap regions. Temperature-dependent Hall effect measurements on nit
rogen-doped Zn(S,Se) and (Zn,Mg)(S,Se) were performed and the activati
on energy of nitrogen acceptors was obtained. With the use of this gra
ded contact, room-temperature continuous-wave laser diode operation ha
s been achieved at a threshold voltage of 5.8 V in a ZnCdSe/ZnSSe/ZnMg
SSe separate confinement heterostructure.
