Abstract:
We present measurements of the specific resistivity of a heavily doped n-type InP/InGaAs interface. Transmission line measurements of an InP/GaInAs heterostucture were carried out before and after etching of the GaInAs layer between the pads. The specific interface resistivity was extracted numerically, and error bars were calculated. The obtained specific interface resistivity, averaged on several TLM structures across the wafer, was 1.7 ± 0.36 [Ω-µm2].
