Refractory Silicide Schottky Contacts To Gaas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Refractory suicides form high temperature stable Schottky contacts to GaAs. This finding enabled us to develop self-aligned GaAs MESFETs, thereby enabling the development of today's GaAs ICs. This paper reviews electrical and metallurgical studies on refractory-metal/GaAs and refractory-metal-si licide/GaAs interfaces. We emphasize the fact that W5Si3/GaAs contacts have extremely stable electrical properties even after annealing at temperatures up to 850°C. Crystallographical properties of the W5S3 film on GaAs, investigated by x-ray and TEM measurement techiques, are also covered. We found that the Schottky electrical characteristics are not affected by whether the film is amorphous or crystalline.
