Abstract
The quality of Al/Ti-based ohmic contacts formed on 4H-SiC films under vari ous annealing conditions has been examined. Atmospheric, vacuum and high va cuum environments as well as resistive, inductive and rapid thermal heating have been used. Vacuum annealing resulted in non-oxidized contacts indepen dent of the heating method. The ohmic contacts were fabricated on both high ly doped (1 x 10(18) cm(-3)) CVD-grown and extremely high doped (> 1 x 10(2 0) cm(-3)) LPE-grown films. Reproducible and of low specific contact resist ance (similar to 1 x 10(-4) Omega cm(2)) contacts were obtained only for th e case of LPE-grown films. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.
