Abstract

Interfacial reactions between Ni and GaAs have been studied using bulk diffusion couples of Ni(∼0.5mm thick)/GaAs and thin-film Ni (∼40nm) on GaAs (100) in addition to phase diagram determination at 600° C. On the basis of the phase diagram and the bulk diffusion couples, the ternary phase which forms first in the thin-film couples is Ni3 GaAs. Thinfilm studies show that the epitaxial growth of equilibrium contact phases, i.e., NiAs and β-GaNi, on a GaAs (100) substrate is possible.
