Abstract
In this work, we present the microscopic characterisation of intimate Cu co ntacts formed on (100) In0.53Ga0.47As surfaces. Previous I(V) measurements indicate that Cu-In0.53Ga0.47As (100) dots formed ohmic contacts. In the pr esent study, the metal-semiconductor interface is examined by a variety of techniques, including transmission electron (TEM) and atomic force microsco pies (AFM), Auger electron spectrometry (AES) and X-ray microanalysis (EDX) . The configuration of the three intimate contacts is discussed in terms of the interfacial reactions resulting from the differing deposition conditio ns. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
