Abstract

Aluminium Schottky contacts on n-Si were subjected to Ar+ ion bombardment, followed by a thermal anneal at 350 °C. This resulted in a marked improvement in the diode character of the implanted contacts. α-particle channeling analysis showed that very little damage remained after annealing, while AES showed only slight mixing of the Al and Si.
