AbstractThe formation features of a low-temperature Ta/Al-based ohmic contact to Al_0.25Ga_0.75N/GaN heteroepitaxial structures on silicon substrates are studied. The fabricated ohmic contacts based on Ta/Al/Ti (10/300/20 nm) compositions have a low contact resistance (0.4 Ω mm) and smooth surface morphology of the contact area and its edge after 60-s annealing at T = 550°C in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Ohmic contacts were made on n+-GaAs substrates by evaporating a gold–germanium eutectic film with or without a thin nickel overlayer and then alloying these samples either in a furnace or by means of an excimer laser. It is found that laser annealing gives a better surface morphology and a lower contact resistance than furnace annealing.

Lower Contact

Considerable amount of work has been done in studying the relationship between the contact resistance and the microstructure of the Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contacts to n-GaAs. It has been found that the lower contact resistivity is due to the presence of Ge rich and Au free regions (good contact area) in contact with GaAs. Thus in order to obtain an ohmic contact with lower contact resistance one should obtain a uniformly alloyed region of good contact areas almost everywhere. This can possibly be accomplished by utilizing various alloying schemes. In this work microstructural characterization, employing TEM techniques, of the sequentially deposited Au-Ge-Ni based ohmic contact to the MODFET device is presented.The substrate used in the present work consists of 1 μm thick buffer layer of GaAs grown on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate followed by a 25 Å spacer layer of undoped AlGaAs.

AbstractWhen the stoichiometric TiN was deposited directly on GaN, we obtained columnar TiN grains of 5-20 nm section which cross the whole film thickness and are rotated mostly around the [111] axis. The conventional epitaxial relationship is obtained and no amorphous patches are observed at the interface. The deposition of TiN on Si doped GaN layers lead to the formation of an ohmic contact, whereas we obtain a rectifying contact on p type layers.

This study shows that a thin Ni film on Al/Ti/4H-SiC metal pads allows to preserve the pad form factor during a 1000 °C/2 min treatment, provided that the Al and Ti film thicknesses are sufficiently thin. Moreover, by reducing the Al to Ti thickness ratio, droplet formation in the contact area is avoided and a mirror-like appearance is obtained. This optimal contact morphology corresponds to a specific contact resistance of few 10-4Ωcm2at room temperature on p-type 4H-SiC with resistivity in the range 0.1 – 1 Ωcm.

Ohmic Contact Formation

While nickel ohmic contacts to n-type silicon carbide have good electrical properties, the physical contact, and therefore the reliability, can be poor. An approach is described for using the good electrical properties of Ni ohmic contacts while using another metal for its desired mechanical, thermal and/or chemical properties. In the present work, once the Ni contacts have been annealed forming nickel silicides and achieving low contact resistance, they are etched off. Removing the primary Ni contacts also eliminates the poor morphology, voids, and at least some of the excess carbon produced by the Ni/SiC reaction. The Ni contacts are then replaced by a second contact metal. This second metal displays low contact resistance as-deposited, indicating that the critical feature responsible for the ohmic contact has not been removed by the primary contact etch. Not only does this approach provide more flexibility for optimizing the contact for a given application, it also provides some insight into the ohmic contact formation mechanism.

In particular, the two types of Ohmic contacts are considered: (1) Contacts to highly doped implanted regions (such as the MOSFET drain/source contacts or the back contact of Schottky diodes) and (2) contacts to the 2 dimensional electron gas (2DEG) of an AlGaN/GaN heterojunction.

Screening Experiment

Multivariable screening and response surface experiments have been performed to model ohmic contact resistance (Rc) of a Ni–Ge–Au ohmic metal process for n+ GaAs-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). Seven variables were examined via a fractional factorial screening experiment to rank the effects of each process variable. The results of the screening experiment indicated that the most significant variables were total Ge and Au evaporated thickness, Ge-to-Au ratio, and the post-alloy cooling time. Response surface experiments were designed around these three variables to examine the first- and second-order effects. The results enabled the development of an empirical model of ohmic contact resistance from which a new low value of 0.03 ± 0.03 Ω · mm (one-sigma) was predicted. Twenty confirmation runs on the new process indicated an average Rc of 0.06 ± 0.02 Ω · mm (one-sigma), with a range of 0.02 Ω · mm to 0.11 Ω · mm, a reduction from the previous average process value of 0.14 ± 0.07 Ω · mm (one-sigma).

ABSTRACTThe formation of ohmic contacts to p-GaAs based on Au-Zn system comprising a TiN diffusion barrier has been investigated using 2 MeV He+ RBS and the specific contact resistance measurements. It has been proved that TiN films deposited by reactive RF bias magnetron sputtering serves two purposes. First it suppresses the arsenic evaporation and thus confines the reaction between AuZn and GaAs. Second, it prevents intermixing between p-GaAs/Au(Zn) ohmic contact and an overlayer of Au.
