Ohmic Contact Formation on 4H-SiC with a Low Thermal Budget by Means of Shallow Phosphorous Ion Implantation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this manuscript Ohmic contact formation at low annealing temperatures is demonstrated using shallow implantation technique. Remarkably, Ni Ohmic contacts with a specific contact resistivity of 1.9x10-5 Ωcm2 have been achieved at as-deposited condition. Smooth interfaces along with reduced Schottky barrier at the metal/SiC interface contributed to improved Ohmic performance at as-deposited and 450°C anneal conditions.
