We demonstrate a novel metal stanogermanide contact metallization process for high mobility germanium-tin (GeSn) channel MOSFETs. The multi-phase nickel-platinum stanogermanide [Ni(GeSn)+Ptx(GeSn)y] contacts are formed by reacting Ni-Pt alloy with Ge0.947Sn0.053 alloy, which is epitaxially grown on Ge (100) substrate by solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Compared with nickel stanogermanide [Ni(GeSn)] contacts, the Pt-incorporated contacts, i.e. [Ni(GeSn)+Ptx(GeSn)y], exhibit enhanced thermal stability in a wide range of formation temperatures and have superior surface morphology even after thermal processing. The proposed contacts are attractive for the integration in high mobility GeSn MOSFETs.

Experimental To obtain the electrode material used in this work, a new VARTA LIC 18650 WC lithium-ion battery was unsealed and dismantled. After evaporation of the electrolyte, a piece was extracted from the cathodeandpreparedforFIB/SEMbysputteringaplatinumlayeronto the surface of the sample to gain a more planar area as a starting point for the FIB. Additionally, two reference lines, one orthogonal and the other with an angle of 48.2 ◦ in relation to the cutting plane, were imprinted into the platinum layer, providing a method independent of surface skew or irregularities to determine slice thickness (Fig. 1). With the help of an FEI Quanta three-dimensional dual-beam FIBSEM at Fraunhofer IZM, Berlin, a cavity was cut into the sample as a starting point and subsequently one side of the cuboid was ablated slice by slice, while the SEM, with an angle of 38 ◦ relative to the sample surface, generated one image per slice.

We report on the use of in-situ optical emission spectrometry to monitor the Al3+ loss rate during the anodic oxidation of aluminum in phosphoric acid. Three distinct stages were observed, the highest rate being measured during barrier layer growth. The evolution of the loss rate is markedly different from the evolution previously reported for sulfuric acid anodizing. We speculate that this may be related to the different pore morphologies obtained in these electrolytes. Our measurements also indicate that below 2 mA/cm2, field-assisted dissolution is the predominant contribution to Al3+ loss, while direct cation ejection is predominant at higher current densities.
