摘要
Based upon temporal measurements of interface electrical conductivity from current-voltage characterization and interface micromorphologies from transmission electron microcopy, a kinetic analysis of the thermally induced interfacial transformation process of GaAs/GaAs semiconductor interfaces fabricated by wafer bonding technology is performed. The activation energy required for the overall interface transformation that involves defect and atomic diffusion was determined to be 0.75 eV. A physical model of this transformation process is proposed. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
