Abstract
A low resistance and shallow ohmic contact to n-GaAs is performed by using Ge/Pd/GaAs trilayer structure and rapid thermal annealing process. The dependence of specific contact resistivity on the temperature of rapid thermal annealing is investigated. A good ohmic contact is formed after annealing at 400–500°C for 60 s. The best specific contact resistivity is1.4 × 10 −6 Ωcm 2. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to analyze the interfacial microstructure. A strong correlation between the contact resistance and the film microstructure is observed.
