Abstract

Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contact to n-type InGaAs was investigated with rapid thermal annealing conditions. Minimum specific contact resistivity of $1.1\times10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved after annealing at $400^{\circ}C$/10sec, and a ohmic performance was degraded at higher annealing temperature due to the chemical reaction between the ohmic contact materials and the InGaAs substrate. However, non-spiking planar interface and relatively good ohmic contact($high-10^{-6};{\Omega}\textrm{cm}^2$) were maintained. This ohmic contact system is expected to be a promising candidate for compound semiconductor devices.

N형 InGaAs에 대한 Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au 오믹 접촉의 급속 열처리 조건에 따른 오믹 특성을 조사하였다. $450^{\circ}C$까지의 열처리에 의해 우수한 오믹 특성을 나타내어 $400^{\circ}C$/10초의 급속 열처리 후에 최저 $1.1\times10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$의 접촉 비저항을 나타내었다. $425^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열처리 후에 접촉 비저항이 점점 증가하여 $450^{\circ}C$에서는 오믹 재료와 InGaAs의 반응에 의해 오믹 특성의 열화가 나타났다. 그러나 high-$10^{-6}\Omega\textrm{cm}^2$ 정도의 비교적 우수한 오믹 특성을 유지하였고, 양호한 표면 및 계면이 얻어져 화합물 반도체 소자에의 응용 가능성이 충분한 것으로 판단된다.
