In the past years, metal/III-V compound semiconductor interfaces have
been investigated intensively in order to find a suitable metallizatio
n scheme meeting the required performance, reproducibility and stabili
ty criteria. Equilibrium phase diagrams provide a base for understandi
ng the interfacial reactions, hence solid state equilibria at 600 and
900 degrees C in the Ga-Ni-Sb system have been experimentally determin
ed and are presented in this article. In the course of the work the ni
ckel-rich part of the Ga-Ni phase diagram has been revised by means of
DTA and the diffusion couple technique. This study was undertaken to
clarify the true temperature range of stability for the compounds Ga2N
i3 and Ga9Ni13 that is of significant importance for establishing the
Ga-Ni-Sb phase diagram.
