摘要
In this work, an innovated Si3N4 as an out-diffusion barrier layer to Au/Zn/Au contact system for p-type InP has been proposed. Before the contacts were annealed, Si3N4 layer was deposited on the Au(200 angstrom)/Zn(700 angstrom)/Au(200 angstrom), then the Si3N4 was removed by HF and a 200 angstrom layer of pure gold was deposited to facilitate wire bonding, The specific contact resistance dropped to a minimum value of 6 x 10(-7).cm(2) (for an acceptor concentration of about 3 x 10(-3)cm(-3)) and the contact became perfectly Ohmic. Besides, Si3N4 layer is an excellent passivation layer and antireflection coating in InP/InGaAs/InP (p-i-n) photodiodes.
