Abstract :
The stability of the TiW/GaAs interface during rapid thermal annealing at temperatures between 700°C and 1050°C has been investigated using SIMS, Auger, RBS, XRD, cross-sectional TEM, EDS, IV and CV analysis. Schottky contact measurements showed a steady increase of the barrier height with annealing temperature from the as-deposited value of 0.70eV to 0.95eV after annealing at 950°C. The results are consistent with an artificial barrier height enhancement due to p-doping of the substrate by indiffusing Ti.
