AuBe Ohmic contacts to p-type ZnTe

Abstract

Ohmic contacts of AuBe to p-ZnTe show a minimum specific contact resistance of 3.0 x 10(-6) Ohm cm(2) for a p-doping level of 1.6 x 10(19) cm(-3) and at an annealing temperature of 200 degrees C. The beryllium is very effective at improving the electrical properties of p-type contacts to ZnTe.
