Ph. Hao et al., LOW-RESISTANCE (APPROXIMATE-TO-10(-6) OMEGA-CM(2)) OHMIC CONTACT TO N-GAAS PROCESSED AT 175-DEGREES-C, Electronics Letters, 31(13), 1995, pp. 1106-1108
A low resistance (10(-6)Omega cm(2)) Au/Ge/Pd ohmic contact processed
at 175 degrees C has been developed to n-GaAs (n similar or equal to 1
0(18)cm(-3)). The ohmic contact formation mechanism can be rationalise
d in terms of the solid phase regrowth (SPR) principle and the interdi
ffusion of Au and Ge.
