Abstract :
A novel technique based on pulse electroplating and surface treatment with very slow etching rate solutions has been applied to fabricate Au Schottky barriers on GaAs1¿xPx and Ga1¿xAlxAs. Device characteristics are compared to the behaviour of vacuum-deposited barriers. The present technique allows a simple and fast procedure to obtain Schottky barriers for material evaluation and device applications.
