Abstract

Ti/Pt metallization was used to form contacts on both n+-InAs emitter cap and p+ base layers of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The as-deposited contacts were found to be ohmic for both the base and emitter cap layers. Rapid thermal processing of the contact metallizations was performed in the temperature range of 3 00–500 C for 30 seconds. Minimum contact resistivities of l×10-6 ohm-cm2 for the base and 3×l0-7 ohm-cm2 for the emitter layer were achieved. The influence of heat treatment on contact morphology was also examined.
