Abstract

Low resistance Pt/Ti nonalloy contacts to GaAs, GaP, In As, InGaAs, and In Alas have been studied using Rutherford Backscattering. The samples were studied by comparing an as deposited structure to samples annealed at temperatures between 300°C and 600°C for 30 s. For all samples intermixing of the Pt and Ti was observed to start at 350°C. The Ti/HI-V semiconductor interface mixing was strongest for As when it was present, but In and Ga also strongly intermixed for anneals of 4S0°C and above.
