Summary:The past few years have seen the growth of a number of techniques capable of giving elemental distributions in thin film systems. This paper describes the application of one such technique—Auger depth profiling—to a range of metal-semiconductor contact problems. The aim of these studies was to determine the extent to which metallurgical information can be correlated with the electrical properties of the device. The examples described are chosen to show the problems in interpretation of Auger data and the degree to which these data can elucidate the electrical properties.
