The effect of composition on the contact resistance between AuZn alloy and p-type InGaAsP layers lattice-matched to InP has been investigated and it was found that a lower contact resistance could be obtained by decreasing the energy gap of the quaternary layer. This fact can be explained in terms of carrier tunnelling as a current transport mechanism.
