| The effects of interaction between thin films of Zn and (100)InP were studied with secondary ion mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Zn was found to penetrate the native oxide on InP surface during deposition and to form an ohmic contact when deposited on highly doped n-type InP. Heat treatment causes the formation of Zn3P2 phase lattice matched to InP. |
