Lab P09: Aluminum Deposition and Sintering

Procedures
1. Remove the native oxide by 2% HF dipping for 1 min just before Al metallization.
2. Aluminum deposition by E-beam Evaporation.
• Deposition rate: 10 Å/s
• Emission current: 200 mA
• Thickness: 0.5 µm
3. Sintering of Al at 500°C for 5 minutes to form a good ohmic contact and bond (remove stress
concentration between Al and Si) near to Al-Si eutectic temperature.
