Popis: The results of electrical and structural characterization of a GeMoW ohmic contact to n-type GaAs with a 100A thick, In0.5Ga0.5As cap layer are presented. Electrical characterization demonstrates ohmic behavior over a wide annealing temperature range from 300 to 700°C. A minimum contact resistance of 0.176 Ω-mm was measured after furnace annealing at 500°C. The contact resistance is also insensitive to anneal time at 500°C. Structural characterization using secondary ion mass spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction indicates excess In as a potential cause of increased contact resistance following 700°C annealing.
