ABSTRACT:
A metallizing system for silicon surfaces consists of sequential layers of nickel, chromium, nickel and silver. Approximately 2 microns of the silicon surface are removed prior to metallization to ensure removal of an oxygen-saturated layer of silicon before the first nickel layer is deposited. The assembly is heated sufficiently that the first nickel layer forms a nickel-silicide layer at the silicon surface. The metallizing adheres to bare treated silicon but does not adhere to adjacent oxide coatings and easily lifts off of oxide-coated surfaces. The metallizing is solderable, makes ohmic contact to the silicon, regardless of its conductivity type and survives subsequent alloy processing temperatures.
