Abstract

Several compositions of Al-Pt thin films have been co-evaporated on GaAs substrates to study the stability of the alloys at high-temperature anneals. The Al concentration in the alloys ranges from 45 at.% to 70 at.%, and we show that the films meet thermal stability requirements imposed by GaAs self-aligning gate technology for compositions between AlPt and Al2Pt.
