Abstract
The metallurgical properties of the Ni/n-InP system have been investigated. We report the formation of a compositionally nonuniform Ni-In-P amorphous layer during the DC sputtering metal deposition process which includes an Ar+ cleaning. After RTP and long in situ annealing treatments the simultaneous appearance of the Ni2P and Ni3P binary phases and the Ni2InP ternary phase were observed. Kinetics and nucleation phenomena were highlighted by the precipitation of In during the RTP.
