Metal Contact Processing Experiments towards Realizing 500 °C Durable RF 4H-SiC BJTs

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents results from metal contact processing experiments towards the implementation of durable 500 °C high-frequency 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). Specifically, p-type ohmic contacts have been demonstrated on a 0.25 μm-thick p-type homoepitaxial layer of doping 8 × 1018 ± 4 × 1018 cm-3. Finally, preliminary current-voltage characteristics of fabricated BJTs are presented.
