ABSTRACTPhase equilibria in the M-In-P (M = transition metal) ternary systems is determined through a combination of thermodynamic calculation and experimentation. Palladium is identified as a particularly attractive metal for contacts to InP. One useful feature of this system for contact design is the occurance of PdχInP ternary phases. Additionally, Pdln is found to be in equilibrium with InP and is identified as a promising contact material to InP because of its high melting point, low resistivity, and favorable properties for processing. Progress in the development of Pdln-based contacts to InP is briefly discussed.

Phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties of five additive molten salt ternary systems and nine reciprocal molten salt ternary systems containing the ions Li+, Na+, [Formula: see text], OH− are calculated from the thermodynamic properties of their binary subsystems which were obtained previously by a critical assessment of the thermodynamic data and the phase diagrams in these binary systems. Thermodynamic properties of ternary liquid phases are estimated from the binary properties by means of the Conformal Ionic Solution Theory. The ternary phase diagrams are then calculated from these thermodynamic properties by means of computer programs designed for the purpose. It is found that a ternary phase diagram can generally be calculated in this way with a maximum error about twice that of the maximum error in the binary phase diagrams upon which the calculations are based. If, in addition, some reliable ternary phase diagram measurements are available, these can be used to obtain small ternary correction terms. In this way, ternary phase diagram measurements can be smoothed and the isotherms drawn in a thermodynamically correct way. The thermodynamic approach permits experimental data to be critically assessed in the light of thermodynamic principles and accepted solution models. A critical assessment of error limits on all the calculated ternary diagrams is made, and suggestions as to which composition regions merit further experimental study are given.
