摘要
The results of a study of the electrical and metallurgical properties of thin metallic layers deposited on InP for use as an ohmic contact are presented. A rapid thermal annealing system was used to alloy AuGe/Ni/Au contacts to n-type ion implanted InP. Rutherford backscattering and contact resistivity measurement were used to evaluate the structural and electrical characteristics of these rapid thermal alloyed thin films. Varying degrees of mixing between the metals and the semiconductor were found depending on the temperature and temperature-time cycle. These results were compared to furnace and graphite strip-heater alloying techniques. A correlation between the interface structure and the contact resistance was found. Temperatures between 430 and 450 degree C and alloying time of 2 sec have produced the best electrical results.
