摘要
A thermally stable, nonspiking ohmic contact to p-GaAs has been developed based on the solid-phase regrowth mechanism. The contact metallization consists of a layered structure of Pd(250 angstrom)/Sb(100 angstrom)/Mn(10 angstrom)/Pd(250 angstrom)/p-GaAs. Thermal annealing of the contact between 300 and 600-degrees-C for 10 s yields contact resistivities in the range of low 10(-6) OMEGA-cm2 on substrates doped to 2.5 x 10(18) cm-3. A contact resistivity of 4.5 x 10(-7) OMEGA-cm2 can be obtained after annealing at 500-degrees-C on samples with a doping concentration of 4.5 x 10(19) cm-3. The contact metallization remains uniform in thickness and the contact interface is flat after the contact is formed. The consumption of the substrate is limited to less than a hundred angstroms. Contact resistivities are stable at 400-degrees-C.
