Abstract
A self-aligned Nickel (Ni) silicide process (Salicide) for n-type ohmic contacts on 4H-SiC is demonstrated and electrically verified in a wafer-scale device process. The key point is to anneal the contacts in two steps. The process is successfully employed on wafer-level and a contact resistivity below 5 × 10−6 Ω·cm2 is achieved. The influence of the proposed process on the oxide quality is investigated and no significant effect is observed. The proposed self-aligned technology eliminates the undesirable effects of the lift-off process. Moreover, it is simple, fast, and manufacturable at wafer-scale which saves time and cost.
