Abstract :
The first demonstration of Ni ohmic contacts to both p+ and n+ 4H-SiC formed by ion implantation is reported. Sample preparation conditions are described and experimental results presented. Specific contact resistances in the range of 10-4 Ω cm 2 and 10-6 Ω cm2 for p+ and n+ 4H-SiC, respectively, have been determined by the transfer length method
