  • Abstract
    A microprobe analysis of cleaved edges of GaAs samples containing the cross-section of ohmic contacts has shown that near the surface these contacts contain GaxIn1¿xAs, which is probably caused by its precipitation to single-crystal nucleation Sites produced at the surface of the metallisation.
