Ohmic Contact with Enhanced Stability to Polycrystalline Silicon Carbide via Carbon Interfacial Layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of electrical contacts to silicon carbide with low specific resistivity and stability is a critical requirement for harsh environment MEMS applications. In this paper, we present a novel method to lower the ohmic contact resistivity and enhance the stability of Pt contacts to polycrystalline 3C-SiC (poly-SiC) operated at elevated temperatures. In particular, nanocrystalline graphite is grown at the interface between poly-SiC and Pt. The contact resistance of Pt/C/SiC is found to be half the value of Pt/SiC at room temperature. In addition, the temperature dependence of the contact resistivity results show that with a carbon interfacial layer, stable ohmic contacts to poly-SiC are achieved at 540°C

Ultraviolet photodetectors have applications in fields such as medicine, communications and defence, and are typically made from single-crystalline silicon, silicon carbide or gallium nitride p-n junction photodiodes. However, such inorganic photodetectors are unsuitable for certain applications because of their high cost and low responsivity (<0.2 A W(-1)). Solution-processed photodetectors ba...

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...
