We report on a thermal stability study of WSi0.79 contacts on Te-doped InP. The epitaxial InP layers were grown on Fe-doped semi-insulating InP substrates by metalorganic molecular beam epitaxy. Tri-isopropylindium-di-isopropyltellurium was used as the Te precursor and the doping level was 1.4×1020 cm−3. Contact metal, amorphous WSi0.79, was sputtered from a composite and an excellent specific contact resistance of 1×10−6 Ω cm2 was achieved. The specific contact resistivity was also measured at different temperature (25–200 °C) and it stayed fair contact. This is clear indication that the current transport through the contact dominates by tunneling. After alloying at temperatures up to 600 °C, there is no obvious change of specific contact resistance or sheet resistance. After 700 °C annealing, there was significant P out-diffusion detected and the specific contact resistance began to degrade. However, the contact metal morphology and edge definition were unaffected. After 800 °C annealing, there was evidence of In out-diffusion after and the surface morphology became rough. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
