  • Patent number: 5045408
    Abstract: A method of utilizing bulk phase diagrams to design thermodynamically stable conductor/component semiconductor compound-semiconductor interfaces. The ternary phase diagrams are examined to determine pseudobinary tielines between the compound semiconductor and conducting intermetallic compounds. The phase diagrams also allow prediction of the most stable interface. The resulting interfaces are not only thermally stable, but chemically and electrically uniform.
