| 内容記述 | Nickel Silicide (Ni2Si) is investigated as possible ohmic contact to heavily nitrogen-doped N-type 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC. Nickel Silicide was deposited via electron gun with various thicknesses on both Si and C faces of the SiC substrates. The Ni2Si contacts were formed at room temperature as well as at elevated temperatures (400 to 1000 K). Contact resistivities and I-V characteristics were measured at temperatures between 100 and 700 C. To investigate the electric properties, I-V characteristics were studied and the Transmission Line Method (TLM) was used to determine the specific contact resistance for the samples at each annealing temperature. Both Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) were used for depth profiling of the Ni2Si, Si, and C. X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the chemical structure of the Ni2Si/SiC interface. |
