摘要
Advanced compound semiconductor devices require increasingly stable, shallow, and uniform metallized layers for ohmic and Schottky contacts. However, the design of new multielemental contact metallization systems is limited by the paucity of information regarding the structure, composition, and stability of phases resulting from the interaction of single metal layers with compound semiconductors. In this letter, the results of a transmission electron microscopy investigation of the Ni/GaAs reaction are presented. The first reaction product is shown to have the composition Ni//3GaAs. Based on this composition and lattice parameter measurements, it is proposed that the structure of Ni// 3GaAs is closely related to that of gamma (prime)Ni//3Ga//2, a derivative of the hexagonal B8 structure type.
