    摘要: Metallic contacts to compound semiconductor devices which employ a native oxide for passivation are provided. The metallic contacts of the invention comprise at least two metal layers: a first layer making non-rectifying contact with the semiconductor surface and providing a diffusion barrier and a second layer thereon comprising an easily oxidizable metal. A low resistivity metal layer may optionally be interposed between the two metal layers for improved conductivity.
    The metallic contact is formed prior to passivation. The diffusion barrier layer prevents diffusion of potentially deleterious materials into the semiconductor, while exposed portions of the oxidizable metal form an insulating oxide during anodic passivation in an electrolyte. The insulating oxide prevents disruption of the electric field distribution in the electrolyte, thereby eliminating passivating oxide and device non-uniformities commonly encountered in the formation of prior art metallic contacts and providing more uniform semiconductor oxide thickness.

    摘要: A mercury-cadmium-telluride (HgCdTe) photoresponsive layer (14) having the composition Hg 1-x Cd x Te is formed on a substrate (12) such that x increases from the surface (14a) of the photoresponsive layer (14) toward the substrate (12). This causes the bandgap in the photoresponsive layer (14) to increase from the surface (14a) toward the substrate (12), thereby urging minority carriers which are photogenerated in the photoresponsive layer (14) to move toward and be trapped at the surface (14a). Laterally spaced first and second ohmic contacts (16,18) are electrically connected to the photoresponsive layer (14) at a predetermined distance (z c ) below the surface (14a) such that the photogenerated minority carriers trapped at the surface (14a) are urged away from the contacts (16,18) by the increasing bandgap. An electrically floating photoresponsive layer (24) of opposite conductivity type may be formed between the substrate (12) and the photoresponsive layer (14) to form a Heterojunction Interface Trap.
