    摘要: A method of forming an ohmic contact for a semiconductor device, the ohmic contact having a specific contact resistivity of less than 10 e-03 ohm-cm 2 , the method comprising: forming a metal on a Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate opposite a stack of n/p type epitaxial layers; and annealing an interface location of the metal and the SiC substrate to form a metal-SiC material thereat and avoiding annealing at another location on the SiC substrate to avoid forming the metal-SiC material thereat, the annealing being carried out with laser light having photon energies above a bandgap of the SiC substrate.
