Abstract :
Two new metallisation systems, Pd/Pt and Cr/Au, for nonalloyed ohmic contacts on p+-InGaAs have been compared with the Ti/Pt contact. The observed strong dependence of the contact resistivity on the metal is related to its work function. The lowest resistivities are achieved with Pd/Pt, e.g. 1.2*10-6 Omega cm2 for p=1.7*19 cm-3.
