Abstract :
Different metallisation schemes for the formation of n-type ohmic contact on type-II InAs/GaSb strained layer superlattice material are reported. The specific contact resistance of metal contacts was evaluated by the transfer length method. The Ge(282A)/Au(547A)/Ni (50A)/Pt(470A;)/Au(2001A) contact yielded a specific contact resistance of 1.6×10-5 Omegacm2 (rapid thermal anneal, 380 C, 60 s).
