    摘要: An improved termination structure for high field semiconductor devices in silicon carbide is disclosed. The termination structure includes a silicon carbide-based device for high-field operation, an active region in the device, an edge termination passivation for the active region, in which the edge termination passivation includes, an oxide layer on at least some of the silicon carbide portions of the device for satisfying surface states and lowering interface density, a non-stoichiometric layer of silicon nitride on the oxide layer for avoiding the incorporation of hydrogen and for reducing parasitic capacitance and minimizing trapping, and, a stoichiometric layer of silicon nitride on the nonstoichiometric layer for encapsulating the nonstoichiometric layer and the oxide layer.

    摘要: A method of producing an ohmic contact and a resulting ohmic contact structure are disclosed. The method includes the steps of forming a deposited film of nickel and silicon on a silicon carbide surface at a temperature below which either element will react with silicon carbide and in respective proportions so that the atomic fraction of silicon in the deposited film is greater than the atomic fraction of nickel, and heating the deposited film of nickel and silicon to a temperature at which nickel-silicon compounds will form with an atomic fraction of silicon greater than the atomic fraction of nickel but below the temperature at which either element will react with silicon carbide. The method can further include the step of annealing the nickel-silicon compound to a temperature higher than the heating temperature for the deposited film, and within a region of the phase diagram at which free carbon does not exist.
