Description: 
Recently Ni/SiC contacts have been studied in order to achieve very low contact resistivity (rc) values on n-type SiC. In this work contact resistivity values of Ni-silicide contacts to n-type ion implanted 6H-SiC are analyzed aiming at extracting the Schottky Barrier Height (SBH). The n-type ion implanted 6H-SiC specimens were annealed at 1300, 1500, 1650 C for 20 min in a high purity Ar ambient. The rc values have been extracted from Transmission Line Method (TLM) measurements in the range of temperatures 25-290 C. The rc values are in the range 1-5× 10-5 Wcm2 depending on the annealing temperature. The SBH fBn has been extracted by exploiting the dependence of the contact resistivity on the temperature. By using the field emission model, the value obtained for fBn on our samples is in the range 1.1-1.3 eV depending on the annealing temperature. The SBH on p-type 6H-SiC has been evaluated on …
