The crystal growth direction and growth rate play important roles. For bulk crystals grown under high pressure the highest growth rates are for planes perpendicular to the c-axis. Only planar defects formed on c-planes are observed in these crystals. There are no threading dislocations or nanotubes in the c-direction. However, polarity of the growth direction plays a role in the surface roughness and the distribution of planar defects. For the growth of homo-epitaxial and hetero-epitaxial layers, the growth is forced to take place in the much slower c-direction. As a result, defects related to the purity of constituents used for the growth are formed such as nanotubes and pinholes. In addition, threading dislocations and dislocations that accommodate lattice and thermal expansion mismatch are formed.","PeriodicalId":109480,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Semiconducting and Insulating Materials, 2002.

These devices are operated at high current densities and are continually undergoing reduction in size. In order to link the active regions of the semiconductor devices to the external circuit, contacts with low electrical resistance (ohmic contacts) are required. This shldy is part of a wide Cffort oriented on improving the electrical properties of ohmic contacts and thus their electrical resistance (specific contact resistivity). Our investigation is focused on capping layer (mainly Pt)/(Sn or Ge)/Pd contact structure on . ' n-type GaAs. Optimization of doping elements [1,2], deposition methods [2], inert atmosphere during annealing [3], absorption-capping layers [1,2,4], cleaning solutions (wet etching) [4] and alloying methods [4] was carried out previously. This paper deals with dry etching of GaAs in situ prior to the deposition of Ge and Pd. Glow-discharge cleaning should be principally applied prior to every vacuum coating process, as every substrate surface, even after careful mechanical cleaning, will retain a water film of several molecular layers. Glow-discharge in this application may be defined as the removal of the adsorbed impurity layers. The substrate to be coated is primarily submitted to a cleaning process. At the same time the substrate temperature rises which is desirable in most cases. An additional positive effect of the glow-discharge is the increased formation of nuclei on the substrate surface. All the above effects contribute to increase the adhesive strength and purity of vapour deposition layers [SI. Annealing is a very important step in the preparation of ohmic contacts. The most used is rapid thermal annealing (RTA) using halogen or discharge lamps. In this rapid heating, only solid-phase reactions occur at the interface. RTA method can also reduce the loss of volatile group V materials, the intermixing of metals and semiconductors, phase segregation and grain growth [6] . Experiments were made in order to optimize the parameters of the glow-discharge cleaning such as polarity of electrode resulting in sputter process or sputter etching, time of cleaning and applied current density of glow-discharge (in range from 56pA.ctK2 to 616 pA.mi2).","PeriodicalId":109480,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Semiconducting and Insulating Materials, 2002.
