Annotation The methods for manufacturing devices with Schottky barrier should provide the required structure of the interface and the ability to produce high-quality "metal-semiconductor" layers over a large area. It is of interest the separation boundary structure control of the contact between a metal and a semiconductor, which is achieved by thin-film structures annealing. The contacts to epitaxial n-type GaAs layer (111) a few micrometers thick with a carriers mobility of more than 5000 cm2/(Vs) and the electrons concentration ne.l.  21016 cm – 3,that was grown on highly doped substrates (n ~ 1018 cm-3) are investigated. The deposition of silver was produced on the GaAs-substrate by vacuum deposition at a residual pressure of about 2,6610 – 3 Pa. Produced structures Ag/n-GaAs were annealed in the 723...873 K temperature range. The optimum depth of silver penetration into gallium arsenide contact region is found at an annealing temperature of 823 K during 10 min., φBn  0,95 V. The structure of contacts metal films is polycrystalline, fine-grained, in composition it mostly corresponds to sprayed material.
