Abstract :
The successful application of short-term halogen lamp annealing to form ohmic contacts to AlGaAs/GaAs and In0.52Al0.48As/ In0.53Ga0.47As modulation-doped structures is demonstrated. Use of Ti in the electron-beam evaporated metallization scheme and a two-step annealing cycle give contacts with reproducibly good electrical and morphological characteristics. Minimum values of specific contact resistance \\rho_{c} = 4.0 \\times 10^{-7} and 6.0 \\times 10^{-7} Ω.cm2for AlGaAs/GaAs and In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As, respectively, are measured. Corresponding values of the transfer resistance Rcare 0.12 ± 0.02 and 0.18 ± 0.05 Ω.mm. These values are the lowest achieved with lamp annealing and are comparable to the best obtained with transient furnace annealing.
