Abstract

Disclosed are structures and methods related to metallization of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) layer. In some embodiments, a tantalum nitride (TaN) layer can be formed on a doped GaAs layer, and a metal layer can be formed on the TaN layer. Such a structure can be included in a Schottky diode. In some embodiments, such a Schottky diode can be fabricated utilizing heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) processes.
