摘要: The use of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) combined with in situ sputter etching for revealing the metallurgy metal-semiconductor interface is presented. physical basis, measurement techniques, and data interpretation analysis thin-film structures are briefly reviewed. Results a detailed study an alloyed multilayered contact (Ni/Au-Ge) on n-type epitaxial GaAs summarized to illustrate how electrical metallurgical properties can be correlated using AES. In addition, results growth kinetics chemical phase identification palladium silicide single-crystal Si given, as well initial aluminum-palladium interaction at elevated temperature. (auth)
