Abstract

The reaction between Ni60Ta40 amorphous alloy and (001) GaAs was studied by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, Auger spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. At 400°C formation of Ni GaAs at the interface with GaAs was observed. After heat treatment at 600°C in vacuum a layered structure of TaAs/NiGa/GaAs has been formed. The NiGa layer has epitaxial relations to the GaAs substrate. The vertical phase separation can be explained by opposite diffusion directions of nickel and arsenic atoms.
