The relationship between electrical properties and microstructure of pure Zn and AuZn contacts to p-GaAs has been studied. The obtained results prove that mechanism responsible for the ohmic behaviour of these contacts is associated with the lowering of the potential barrier at metal/semiconductor interface, resulting from the phase transformations in the metallization. |
