The Schottky‐barrier energy φB for Al, Ni, Pd, Co, Au, and Ag contacts on chemically etched 〈100〉 surfaces of both p‐ and n‐type InP was measured and the metallurgical behavior of the contact structures was studied using Auger‐electron spectroscopy. No simple linear relationship could be found between the measured Schottky barrier energies on InP and the work functions or the electronegativities of the contact metals. Therefore, the results could not be explained in terms of the traditional Schottky and Bardeen theories. However, a very well defined relationship was observed between the Schottky barrier energies and the heats of reaction per formula unit ΔHr for the most stable metal phosphides that could be formed between the contact metals and the InP substrate. The contact metals Au and Ag whose phosphides are less stable than InP (i.e., ΔHr >0) produced diffuse interfaces, characterized by extensive outdiffusion of In, and yielded low values of φBp, the Schottky‐barrier energy on p‐type InP; whereas t...
