摘要: Contact resistances of NiGe Ohmic contacts were reduced by adding a small amount In or Au to the contacts. These had excellent thermal stability, smooth surface, and shallow diffusion depth. A model for current transport NiGe–based was proposed, which explained well dependencies contact on microstructure at GaAs/metal interface.
