Low Thermal Budget Ohmic Contact Formation by Laser Anneal

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, we demonstrate the possibility to achieve an ohmic contact using a low thermal budget applicable to backside processing after wafer thinning. The process window for laser annealing as a function of the thinning process is investigated. By laser melt annealing, we demonstrate the possibility for different silicide phases from pure nickel deposition on thinned 4H-SiC, formation of uniform carbon nanoclusters at the metal/SiC interface and recovery of thinning-induced defects. This has been demonstrated as a function of different thinning process and surface conditions.
