Platinum and Platinum Silicide Contacts on Beta-Silicon Carbide Specification.

Abstract

This invention relates to contact metallization on silicon carbide, specifically, to Schottky contacts of platinum and platinum silicide on Beta-silicon carbide. It is an object of this invention to provide a rugged and thermally stable rectifying contact metallization on SiC for high temperature semiconductor device applications. Additionally, it is an object of this invention to provide a Schottky metallization which has higher thermal stability than conventional gold metallization. Further, it is an object of this invention to provide a Schottky metallization which has superior adhesion properties to conventional gold metallization. Patent applications. (JES)
