Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of PiN devices, in particular to an ohmic contact method for silicon carbide PiN devices. Background technique [0002] Ordinary diodes are composed of PN junctions. The so-called PN junctions use different doping processes to make P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors on the same semiconductor substrate. A thin low-doped intrinsic (Intrinsic) semiconductor layer is added between the P-type semiconductor material and the N-type semiconductor material to form a P-I-N structure diode. This P-I-N structure diode is also called a PIN device. At present, the PIN device with very broad application prospects is a silicon carbide PiN device with SiC as the semiconductor material. layer composition. [0003] The preparation of silicon carbide PiN devices is very complicated, including many processes such as SiC film growth, high-temperature ion implantation, plasma etching, and ohmic contact formation. Among them,...
