Under the influence of external factors, the structural and phase composition of the interface boundary change, and similarly changes the degree of local non-uniformity, impurity and defect composition of the subsurface region of the semiconductors, which results, eventually, into variations (degrading) of the electric and physical properties of the contacts. Nowadays, the search for structures with contacts metal-A/sup 3/B/sup 5/ which are stable and resistant against external effects tends to examine such metallic alloys and compounds which could markedly weaken the interdiffusion of metal-semiconductor layers. Among them, of particular interest are titanium borides and nitrides. The paper present a comparative study of TiB/sub 2/(TiN)-GaAs structures.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.

The originality of this process lies in secondary effects, such as reactive ion etching-Lag or shadowing, which are used to achieve different depths of etching of different structures on the same wafer. The base of the described technology uses only one-step single-layer lithography and dry etching processes. Therefore, this technology is very simple: (i) no mask alignment procedures are needed, (ii) suitable for batch processes for mass production, and (iii) all processes are compatible with processes used in the Integrated Circuits production.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.

In the high temperature interval the charge transport is well enough described within the thermionic emission theory framework (TE), whereas in the low temperature interval (T<200 K) the suitable description of the transport is obtained assuming conduction through deep impurity levels and hopping process between continuously destructed localized electron states in the silicon band gap. It is argued that the addition transport mechanisms are induced by the disordered interfacial control layer (DICL) form by the energetic Ag ion incorporated into silicon crystal lattice situated between the metal and the ordered part of the semiconductor.","PeriodicalId":378441,"journal":{"name":"ASDAM '98.
