Research Abstract

In order to obtain thermally stable Ohmic contacts to GaAs, Ge/GaAs and Si/GaAs heterostructure were studied experimentally. Main results obtained are summarized as follows.
1) It is possible to obtain Ohmic contacts using vacuum-deposition of Ge or Si films on chemically cleaned GaAs substrates and subsequently by changing them in n-type materials using ion implantation and furnace annealing.
2) In case of the Ge/GaAs system, two-step annealing composed of low and high temperature annealings is effective in crystallizing the Ge films in single crystal. On the other hand, Si films on GaAs tend to become polycrystalline even after the same heat treatment.
3) Good Ohmic characteristics are more easily obtained in the Si/GaAs structure than the Ge/GaAs structure. This difference is considered due to the different behavior of diffused Si and Ge atoms in GaAs. That is, Si atoms in GaAs act as donors and increase the carrier concentration near the surface, while Ge atoms act as acceptors and decrease it.
4) Rapid thermal annealing to the Si/GaAs system is effective to obtain good Ohmic contacts. Particularly, the combination of rapid thermal annealing and implantation of Si ions in the Si/GaAs interface is useful to decrease contact resistance.
5) From fabrication of test devices, it has been shown that the Si/GaAs heterostructure is good enough to apply to the actual devices.
