Abstract(in English) Ge1-xSnx is a promising channel material for CMOS transistors because of its higher mobilities of both electron and hole than Si and Ge. For the practical application, it is essential to reduce the contact resistivity at the metal/n-type Ge1-xSnx interface down to as low as 10?9 Ω?cm2. To reduce the contact resistivity, heavily n-type doping in Ge1-xSnx is necessary whereas n-type dopants of Ge have low solid solubility limits and large diffusion coefficients. Recently, we achieved n+-Ge1-xSnx growth with a superior crystallinity and a high electron concentration of 1020 cm-3 by in-situ Sb doping under non-thermal equilibrium conditions. In this study, we succeeded the formation of Ni(Ge1-xSnx) on n+-Ge1-xSnx by the relatively low-temperature annealing at 350 ?C without Sn segregation. As a result, an ultra-low resistivity contact of n-type Ge1-xSnx as low as 10-9 Ω?cm2 was achieved with the Ni(Ge1-xSnx)/Sb-doped Ge0.935Sn0.065 sample with an electron concentration of 1.8×1020 cm-3.
