    Abstract:

    In order to achieve lowcontact resistances of InAs/AlSb heterostructures with the undoped In As cap layer, Pd/Ti/Pt/Au alloyed ohmic contact has been investigated.The contact resistance Rcis evaluated by using transmission-line-model (TLM) measurements.A minimum of 0.128 Ω·mm has been obtained by using the optimal rapid thermal annealing (RTA) with the condition at temperature of 275 ℃ and annealing time of 20 s.The measurement from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrates that the Pd atoms diffuses into the semiconductor, which is beneficial to the formation of a high-quality ohmic contact during the rapid thermal annealing.This study shows that the contact resistance Rcis reduced significantly after Pd/Ti/Pt/Au alloyed ohmic contact, which is suitable for its application in InAs/AlSb heterostructures.
