As the design rule of device continued to shrink, the contact resistance in small contact size became important. Although the conventional TiN/Ti structure as a ohmic layer has been widely used, we propose a new TiN/Co film structure. We characterized a contact resistance by using a chain pattern and a KELVIN pattern, and a leakage current determined by current-voltage measurements. Moreover, the microstructure of TiN/ Ti/ silicide/n$\^$+/ contact was investigated by a cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM). The contact resistance by the Co ohmic layer showed the decrease of 26 % compared to that of a Ti ohmic layer in the chain resistance, and 50 ％ in KELYIN resistance, respectively. A Co ohmic layer shows enough ohmic behaviors comparable to the Ti ohmic layer, while higher leakage currents in wide area pattern than Ti ohmic layer. We confirmed that an uniform silicide thickness and a good interface roughness were able to be achieved in a CoSi$_2$ Process formed on a n$\^$+/ silicon junction from TEM images.

본 연구에서는 Molybdenum oxide (MoOx)-doped 4,4',4"-tris[2-naphthyl(amino)] triphenylamine(2-TNATA)의 P-doping에 의한 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact에 의한 All Ohmic contact를 이용한 유기 발광 다이오드 (OLEDs)의 광저항 특성의 향상을 설명한다. 이 소자의 성능은 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 두께와 도핑농도에 큰 영향을 받는다. glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (100 nm)/Al 구조의 소자에서 MoOx-doped 2-TNATA 도핑 농도가 25%에서 75%로 증가할수록 hole only device의 hole ohmic 특성이 향상됐다. 그 이유는 p-type doping effect 때문이다. 또한 photoemission spectra 분석결과, p-type doping effect는 hole-injecting barrier 높이는 낮추고, hole conductivity는 향상되었다. 이것은 2-TNATA에 도핑된 MoOx의 전하전송 콤플렉스의 형성으로 hole carrier의 수가 증가하여 발생되었다. MoOx-doped 2-TNATA의 hole ohmic contact과 fullerene (C60)/lithium fluoride (LiF)의 electron ohmic contact 으로 구성된 glass/ITO/MoOx-doped 2-TNATA (75%, 60 nm)/NPB (10 nm)/Alq3 (35 nm)/C60 (5 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (150 nm)의 소자구조는 6,4V에서 127,600 cd/m2 최대 휘도와 약 1,000 cd/m2에서 4.7 lm/W의 높은 전력 효율을 보여준다.

Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt and Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au ohmic contacts to n-type InGaAs were investigated for applications to AlGaAs/GaAs HBT emitter ohmic contacts. In the Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt ohmic contact minimum specific contact resistivity of $3.7${\times}$10^{-6}$ $\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by rapid thermal annealing at $^400{\circ}C$/10 sec. In the Pd/Ge/Ti/Au ohmic contact, minimum specific contact resistivity of $1.1${\times}$10^{-6}$ $\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved by annealing at 40$0^{\circ}C$/10 sec but the ohmic performance was degraded with increasing annealing temperature due to the reaction between the ohmic contact materials and the InGaAs substrate. However, non-spiking planar interface and relatively good ohmic contact (high-$10^{-6}$ /$\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$) were maintained after annealing at $450^{\circ}C$/10 sec. Therefore, these thermally stable ohmic contact systems are promising candidates for compound semiconductor devices. RF performance of the AlGaAs/GaAs HBT was also examined by employing the Pd/Ge/Ti/Pt and Pd/Ge/Pd/Ti/Au systems as emitter ohmic contacts. Cutoff frequencies were 63.5 ㎓ and 65.0 ㎓, respectively, and maximum oscillation frequencies were 50.5 ㎓ and 51.3 ㎓, respectively, indicating very successful high frequency operations.

Through dark injection space-charge-limited current (DI-SCLC) and trap-free SCLC measurements, it has been demonstrated that an indium tin oxide (ITO)/buckminsterfullerene ($C_{60}$) electrode can form a quasi-Ohmic contact with N, N'-bis (naphthalen-1-yl)-N, N'-bis(phenyl) benzidine (NPB). The DI-SCLC results show a clear peak current along with a shift of the peak position as the field intensity varies, implying an Ohmic (or quasi-Ohmic) contact. A theoretical simulation of the SCLC also shows that ITO/$C_{60}$ forms an Ohmic contact with NPB. The Ohmic contact makes it possible to estimate the NPB hole mobility through the use of both DI-SCLC and trap-free SCLC analysis. This also contributes to a reduction in power consumption.

According to reports, it is impossible to make Ohmic Contact with high resistivity p type CdTe or CdZnTe semiconductor theoretically. But it is in need of making Ohmic Contact to fabricate semiconductor radiation detector By electroless deposition method using gold chloride solution, we made Ohmic Contact of Au and p-Cd$_{80}$Zn$_{20}$Te which grown by High Presure Bridgman Method in Aurora Technologies Corporation. We investigated the interface with Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy. And we evaluated the degree of Ohmic Contact for the Au/CdZnTe interface by the I/V characteristic curve. As a result, we concluded that it showed excellent Ohmic Contact property by tunneling mechanism through the interface.e.

본 연구에서는 XeCl 엑시머 레이저를 통해서 GaN를 선별적으로 고농도 도핑 할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안했으며, 제안된 방법에 의해 제작된 소자는 낮은 ohmic contact 저항을 나타내었다. 증착된 실리콘 film에 XeCl 엑시머 레이저를 사용하여 GaN 위에 sputtering 함으로써 조사하였으며 레이저에 의해 조사된 영역에는 ohmic contact을 형성하였다. 기존 방법에 의한 ohmic contact 저항이 0.66 ohm-mm이었던 반면, 레이저 도핑 공정에 의한 ohmic contact 저항은 0.27 ohm-mm로 효과적으로 감소되었다. SIMS 분석을 통해 레이저 조사를 하는 동안 높은 에너지에 의해 실리콘이 GaN로 확산되었으며, ohmic contact 저항이 ohmic contact 영역 아래의 도핑 농도 증가로 인해 감소한 것을 확인했다.

This paper describes the ohmic contact formation of single crystalline 3C-SiC thin films heteroepitaxially grown on Si(001) wafers. In this work, a TiW (Titanium-tungsten) film as a contact matieral was deposited by RF magnetron sputter and annealed with the vacuum and RTA (rapid thermal anneal) process respectively. Contact resistivities between the TiW film and the n-type 3C-SiC substrate were measured by the C-TLM (circular transmission line model) method. The contact phases and interface the TiW/3C-SiC were evaulated with XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscope) and AES (Auger electron spectroscopy) depth-profiles, respectively. The TiW film annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 45 sec with the RTA play am important role in formation of ohmic contact with the 3C-SiC substrate and the contact resistance is less than $4.62{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^{2}$. Moreover, the inter-diffusion at TiW/3C-SiC interface was not generated during before and after annealing, and kept stable state. Therefore, the ohmic contact formation technology of single crystalline 3C-SiC using the TiW film is very suitable for high temperature MEMS applications.

Ni/Ti/Al multilayer system was tested for low-resistance ohmic contact formation to Al-implanted p-type 4H-SiC. Compared with conventional process using Ni, Ni/Ti/Al contact shows perfect ohmic behavior, and possesses much lower contact resistance of about $2.5\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm^2$ after $930^{\circ}C$ RTA, which is about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of Ni contact. Contact resistance gradually increased as the RTA temperature was lowered in the range of 840 ~ $930^{\circ}C$, and about $3.4\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm^2$ was obtained at the lowest RTA temperature of $840^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was shown that RTA temperature for ohmic contact formation can be lowered to at least $840^{\circ}C$ without significant compromise of contact resistance.

In this study, the characteristics of 3C-SiC ohmic contact were investigated. Titanium-tungsten(TiW) films were used for contact metalization. The ohmic contact resistivity between 3C-SiC and TiW was measured by HP4155 and then calculated with the circular transmission line method(C-TLM). And also the physical properties of TiW and the interface between TiW and 3C-SiC were analyzed using XRD and AES. TiW films make a good role of a diffusion barrier and their contact properties with 3C-SiC are stable at high temperature.

To improve electrical properties and uniformity of high-low doped n-type GaAs, new ohmic contacts with a low-resistance and the superior uniformity was developed using a concept of hybrid ohmic contact. The hybrid ohmic contact displayed good surface and interface morphology and had minimum contact resistivity of 3${\times}$10-6 $\Omega$$\textrm{cm}^2$ in a wide annealing temperature ranged from 340$^{\circ}C$ to 420$^{\circ}C$, which was much wider than that of conventional ohmic contacts. The microstructural analysis showed that the Pd/Ge ohmic contact at low annealing temperature (∼300$^{\circ}C$) and also annealing temperature (∼400$^{\circ}C$), resulting ij hybrid ohmic contacts.
