Influence of the InAs-GaAs miscibility gap on the In/GaAs reaction

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7195064
The In/GaAs reaction in the temperature range 350 to 650/sup 0/C has been studied by analytical and high resolution electron microscopy and electron and x-ray diffraction. Histograms of the compositions of the In/sub 1-x/Ga/sub x/As precipitates formed during annealing confirm the existence of a miscibility gap in the InAs-GaAs pseudo-binary system. Implications of these results for the fabrication of graded layer In/sub 1-x/Ga/sub x/As/n-GaAs ohmic contacts by thermal reaction are discussed.
