Abstract

In this letter, we report on the investigation of Ti, Pt/Si/Ti Ohmic contacts to p-type 4H-SiC. The contacts were formed by a 2-step vacuum annealing at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 1h, 950$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min respectively. The contact resistances were measured using the transmission line model method, which resulted in specific contact resistivities in the 3.5x10$\^$-3/ and 6.2x10$\^$-4/ ohm/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and the physical properties of the contacts were examined using x-ray diffraction, microscopy, AES(auger electron spectroscopy). AES analysis has shown that, at this anneal temperature, there was a intermixing of the Ti and Si, migration of into SiC. Overlayer of Pt had the effect of decreasing the specific contact resistivity and improving the surface morphology of the annealed contact.
