Abstract

The authors report ultralow specific contact resistivity (ρ c) in nonalloyed, in situ Ohmic contacts to heavily doped n -type In0.53 Ga0.47 As:Si layers with 6× 1019 cm-3 active carrier concentration, lattice matched to InP. The contacts were formed by depositing molybdenum (Mo) immediately after the In0.53 Ga0.47 As growth without breaking vacuum. Transmission line model measurements showed a contact resistivity of (1.1±0.6) × 10 -8 cm2 for the Mo/InGaAs interface. The contacts show no observable degradation in resistivity after annealing at 300 and 400 °C for 1 min duration.
