Abstract:
Provided are methods for preparing a doped silicon material. The methods include contacting a surface of a silicon material with a dopant solution comprising a dopant-containing compound selected from a phosphorus-containing compound and an arsenic-containing compound, to form a layer of dopant material on the surface; and diffusing the dopant into the silicon material, thereby forming the doped silicon material, wherein the doped silicon material has a sheet resistance (Rs) of less than or equal to 2,000 Ω/sq.
Abstract:
Semiconductor structures having a first layer including an n-type III-V semiconductor material and a second layer including an M(InP)(InGaAs) alloy, wherein M is selected from Ni, Pt, Pd, Co, Ti, Zr, Y, Mo, Ru, Ir, Sb, In, Dy, Tb, Er, Yb, and Te, and combinations thereof, are disclosed. The semiconductor structures have a substantially planar interface between the first and second layers. Methods of fabricating semiconductor structures, and methods of reducing interface roughness and/or sheet resistance of a contact are also disclosed.
