MULTILAYER OHMIC CONTACTS ON CDS.

Abstract

A multilayer technique is proposed for evaporation of ohmic contacts onto CdS which does not change their electrical properties after heat treatment up to 350C. This technique consists of a sequential evaporation of a preparative layer, an active metal and possible a covering metal. The Ti (preparative)-A1 (active)-Pt (cover) sequence was found most successful. All of the more than forty evaporations investigated -on CdS single crystals, or on evaporated recrystallized layers- showed ohmic characteristics between 2 mV and 200 V and showed generation-recombination noise above (at most) 500 Hz. The electrical properties of the contacts did not markedly change after vacuum heat treatment up to 350C. (Author)
