This research investigates the temperature dependence of the Ni-InGaAs reaction using in-situ HRTEM. A fixed RTA annealing temperature of 250°C is applied, examining fin widths ranging from 50nm to 550nm and reaction times from 5 to 90 minutes. The study involves fabricating fins on InP and InGaAs, followed by Ni deposition and PMMA spin-coating. The Cu TEM grid is utilized for sample transfer, with methods to minimize copper's influence on Ni-InGaAs reactions, such as pre-coating with HfO2 and embedding grids into PMMA.
