Ohmic contact behaviour of Co/C/4H-SiC structures

The electrical contact properties of Co/4H-SiC structures are investigated.A carbon interfacial layer between a Co film and SiC is used to improve the Ohmic contact properties significantly.The C film is deposited prior to Co film deposition on SiC using DC sputtering.The high quality Ohmic contact and specific contact resistivity of 2.30×10^-6Ω·cm² are obtained for Co/C/SiC structures after two-step annealing at 500℃for 10 min and 1050℃for 3 min.The physical properties of the contacts are examined by using XRD.The results indicate that the Co-based metal contacts have better structural stability of silicide phases formed after the high temperature annealing and carbon-enriched layer is produced below the contact,playing a key role in forming an Ohmic contact through the reduction of effective Schottky barrier height for the transport of electrons.The thermal stability of Au/Co/C/SiC Ohmic contacts is investigated.The contacts remain Ohmic on doped n-type(2.8×10¹⁸ cm^-3) 4H-SiC after thermal aging treatment at 500℃for 20 h.

The influence of high-temperature annealing on SiC schottky diode characteristics

The influence of high temperature (up to 800C) annealing on the current-voltage characteristics of n-type 6H-SiC Schottky diodes is presented. Our experimental results indicate that high-temperature annealing can result in the improvement of the forw ard and reverse electrical characteristics of SiC Schottky diodes by repairing any leaky low barrier secondary diode parallel to the primary diode that may be present due to the barrier inhomogeneities at the Schottky contact interface.     

The ohmic contact formation mechanism of Au/Pt/Pd ohmic contact to p-ZnTe

The ohmic contact formation mechanism and the role of Pt layer of Au(500Å) Pt(500Å)/Pd(100Å) ohmic contact to p-ZnTe were investigated. The specific contact resistance of Au/Pt/Pd contact depended strongly on the annealing temperature. As the annealing temperature increased, the specific contact resistance decreased and reached a minimum value of 6×10^?6 Θcm² at 200°C. From the Hall measurement, the hole concentration increased with the annealing temperature and reached a maximum value of 2.3×10¹⁹ cm^?3 at 300°C. The Schottky barrier height decreased with the increase of annealing temperature and reached a minimum value of 0.34 eV at 200°C and it was due to the interfacial reaction of Pd and ZnTe. Therefore, the decrease of contact resistance was due to the increase of doping concentration as well as the decrease of Schottky barrier height by the interfacial reaction of Pd ZnTe. The specific contact resistances of Au Pd, Au/Pt/Pd and Au/Mo/Pd as a function of annealing time was investigated to clarify the role of Pt layer.

High performance of high-voltage 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes

High performance of high-voltage rectifiers could be realized utilizing 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes. A typical specific on-resistance (R_on) of these devices was 1.4×10³ Ω cm³ at 24°C (room temperature) with breakdown voltages as high as 800 V. These devices based on 4H-SiC had R _on's lower than 6H-SiC based high-power rectifiers with the same breakdown voltage. As for Schottky contact metals, Au, Ni, and Ti were employed in this study. The barrier heights of these metals for 4H-SiC were determined by the analysis of current-voltage characteristics, and the reduction of power loss could be achieved by controlling the barrier heights     

Influence of Ni Schottky contact thickness on two-dimensional electron-gas sheet carrier concentration of strained AI0.3Ga0.7N/GaN heterostructures

Ni/Au Schottky contacts with thicknesses of either 50(A)/50(A) or 600 (A)/2000(A) were deposited on strained Al0.3Ga0.7N/GaN heterostructures.Using the measured C-V curves and Ⅰ-Ⅴ characteristics at room temperature,the calculated density of the two-dimensional electron-gas (2DEG) of the 600(A)/2000(A) thick Ni/Au Schottky contact is about 9.13 x 1012 cm-2 and that of the 50(A)/50(A) thick Ni/Au Schottky contact is only about 4.77 ×1012 cm-2.The saturated current increases from 60.88 to 86.34 mA at a bias of 20 V as the thickness of the Ni/Au Schottky contact increases from 50(A)/50(A)to 600(A)/2000(A).By self-consistently solving Schrodinger's and Poisson's equations,the polarization charge sheet density of the two samples was calculated,and the calculated results show that the polarization in the AIGaN barrier layer for the thick Ni/Au Schottky contact is stronger than the thin one.Thus,we attribute the results to the increascd biaxial tensile stress in the Al0.3Ga0.7N barrier layer induced by the 600(A)/2000(A)thick Ni/Au Schottky contact.
