Abstract

Yb has been shown to form high quality rectifying contacts to p-InP and linear, low resistance contacts to fn-InP. The Yb-rectifying contacts gave a barrier height of 1.03-1.04 eV by C-V, and ideality factor of 1.25 with a 10 Å interfacial oxide and reverse saturation current density of 2-3 × 10-9 A/cm2. As a temperature sensor, the contact gave a sensitivity of 2.4 mV/K with linearity from 100 to 450 K. The low resistance contact to n-InP has a resistance of 0.02 Ω-cm2 on undoped material.
