Abstract:
An electrical contact structure (an MIS contact) includes one or more conductors (M-Layer), a semiconductor (S-Layer), and an interfacial dielectric layer (I-Layer) of less than 4 nm thickness disposed between and in contact with both the M-Layer and the S-Layer. The I-Layer is an oxide of a metal or a semiconductor. The conductor of the M-Layer that is adjacent to and in direct contact with the I-Layer is a metal oxide that is electrically conductive, chemically stable and unreactive at its interface with the I-Layer at temperatures up to 450° C. The electrical contact structure has a specific contact resistivity of less than or equal to approximately 10 −5 -10 −7  Ω-cm 2  when the doping in the semiconductor adjacent the MIS contact is greater than approximately 2×10 19  cm −3  and less than approximately 10 −8  Ω-cm 2  when the doping in the semiconductor adjacent the MIS contact is greater than approximately 10 20  cm −3 .

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 10 , wherein the conductive metal oxide is a conductive mixed oxide layer comprising a mixture of tungsten and titanium oxides formed by the reaction of tungsten metal layer with the TiO2 interfacial dielectric layer on top of some remaining thickness of the TiO2 interfacial dielectric layer.
