摘要
Ti/Pd/Au and Pd/Ti/Au multilayer systems were used to form ohmic contacts on thin p+-GaAs layers. The alloying behaviour of contacts, annealed at 380-degrees-C for 4 minutes, was studied using TEM and SIMS. The Ti/Pd/Au (75/75/400nm) contact exhibits the most promising microstructure with depth penetration into the epilayer of the order of a few tens of nms. However the contact resistance (2.88-OMEGA-mm) requires improvement. Interchanging the Ti and Pd layers is found to improve the contact resistance (0.24-OMEGA-mm) but results in extensive (0.1-mu-m) Pd indiffusion into the epilayer.
