摘　　要：The diffusion behavior of vanadium （V） implanted in SiC is investigated by secondary ion mass spec- trometry. Significant redistribution, especially out-diffusion of vanadium towards the sample surface, is not ob- served after 1650℃ annealing. Higher carrier concentration is obtained due to a lack of compensation of vanadium in the surface region. The electrical characteristics of Ni contacts to V-implanted n-type 4H-SiC are investigated using a linear transmission line method. A specific contact resistance as low as 4.4 × 10^-3Ω · cmA^2 is achieved after annealing at 1050℃ for 10min in gas ambient consisting of 90% N2 and 10% H2 X-ray diffraction analysis shows the formation of Ni2 Si and graphite phase at the interface after annealing. This provides the evidence that the car- bon vacancies,resulting from the out-diffusion of carbon atoms from SiC, contribute to the formation of ohmic contact through the reduction of effective Schottky barrier height for the transport of electrons.借助二次离子质谱法分析了注入的钒离子在碳化硅中的分布.即使经过1650℃的高温退火,钒在碳化硅中的再扩散也不显著.退火并没有导致明显的钒向碳化硅表面扩散形成堆积的现象,由于缺少钒的补偿作用,表面薄层的自由载流子浓度保持不变.采用线性传输线模型测量了钒注入n型4H-SiC上的Ni基接触电阻,在1050℃下,在氮、氢混合气体中退火10min,形成的最低比接触电阻为4.4×10-3Ω.cm2.金属化退火后的XRD分析结果表明,镍、碳化硅界面处形成了Ni2Si和石墨相.观测到的石墨相是由于退火导致C原子外扩散并堆积形成,同时在碳化硅表面形成C空位.C空位可以提高有效载流子浓度,降低势垒高度并减小耗尽层宽度,对最终形成欧姆接触起到了关键作用.
