Schottky contacts using CoSi2 to both n- and p-type 6H-SiC were fabric
ated The contacts revealed good rectifying characteristics after annea
ling at 700 degrees C. Low leakage currents and exponentially increasi
ng currents over at least 5 decades were obtained in the forward bias
mode. C-V- and I-V-measurements were used to establish the Schottky ba
rrier heights for CoSi, to 6H-SiC, 1.05 +/- 0.05eV and 1.90 +/- 0.05eV
for n- and p-type respectively. Further annealing at 900 degrees C ch
anged the Schottky barrier heights on both n- and p-type significantly
