摘要
Ti Schottky contacts were formed on n-GaAs surfaces and were subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at various temperatures. Low temperature RTA (< 500-degrees-C) results in a reduction in the diode leakage currents and increase in the barrier voltage. High temperature RTA (> 500-degrees-C) results in progressive degradation of the diode parameters. The improvement in diode parameters is expected to be due to better adhesion of Ti Schottky contact resulting in a more intimate contact of the Schottky metal to the GaAs substrate.
