Modifications in the course of reaction between Co thin films and single crystal GaAs substrate due to the addition of a Ge film either on top or below the metal layer have been studied. The microstructure and phase formation for the systems: Co/GaAs, Co/Ge/GaAs, and Ge/Co/GaAs have been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
