Ni-Al-Ti ohmic contacts on Al implanted 4H-SiC

This study shows that an Al-Ti bilayer with an Al to Ti atomic ratio suitable for ohmic contacts on p-type 4H-SiC can be covered by a Ni film during the high temperature alloying process, without altering the ohmic nature, while eliminating a detrimental contact morphology caused by the presence of molten Al-Si during alloying. On 1x10 ²⁰ cm ^-3 Al-implanted 4H-SiC layer, the RT specific contact resistance of this Ni-Al-Ti contact measured by TLM-C method is (3 ± 1)x10 ^-6 Ωcm ² .
