摘要
本文选用了Co/Si/GaAs结构作为研究对象,经600℃恒温退火及800℃快速退火处理后,分别在GaAs衬底上形成Cosi2/GaAsSchottky接触.采用多种薄膜和界面的测试技术,对CoSi2:/GaAs的薄膜及界面特性进行了细致的研究.结果表明:热退大处理后,Co/Si经化学反应形成了较均匀的CoSi2单相,其薄膜电阻率约为30μΩcm.即使经900℃的快速返火处理后,GaAs界面仍保持相当的完整性,同时薄膜形貌也很理想.此外,采用I-V电学测试法对经750℃恒温退火处理后形成的CoSi2/GaASSchottky势垒进行测量,其势垒高度为BH=0.76eV;理想因子n=1.14.因此,在GaAsMESFET自对准工艺中CoSi2材料可望成为一种较理想的栅极材料.
Abstract CoSti2/GaAs Schottky contacts were formed from Co/Si/GaAs multilayer structure after furnace annealing (FA) at 600℃ for 30min, and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 800℃ for 30s. The characteristics of CoSt, thin film and CoSt,/GaAs interface have been studied in detail by using a variety of techniques including XRD, AES, SIMS, SEM etc.. A smooth CoSt, single phase could form from Co/Simultilayers aftel annealing under suitable conditions, and the resistance of CoSi2,thin. film formed is about 30μΩ. Even annealed (RTA) at 900℃, the interface of CoSi2,/GaAs still remained rather sharp and the morphology of CoSi2, thin film was very plain and no blistering was observed. CoSi2,/GaAs Schottky barriers have also been studied by using (I-V) electronic measurements. The barrier height after annealing at 750℃ for 30min is ΦBH=0.76eV, n=1.14. CoSi2/GaAs Schottky contact formed from Co/Si/GaAs structure could meet the demand of GaAs MESFETtechnology. CoSti2 may be a promising gate in self-aligned GaAs MESFET technology.
