Abstract

See full text

A device includes an n-doped InP layer and an ohmic contact, in contact with the n-doped InP layer. The ohmic contact includes an annealed stack of at least three, or preferably four alternating layers of Si and Ni, such that: (i) the n-doped InP layer and one of the layers of the stack in contact with the n-doped InP layer are at least partly intermixed; and (ii) any two adjacent layers of the stack are at least partly intermixed. Related fabrication methods are also disclosed.
