4H-SiC界面飞秒激光退火及其电学性能优化
Femtosecond laser annealing of 4H-SiC interfaces and optimization of their electrical performance
摘要
Abstract
Enhancing the electrical contact properties between SiC and metal interfaces is crucial for ad-vancing SiC materials in high-frequency and high-power devices.This study utilized a 1030 nm near-infra-red femtosecond laser to anneal the 4H-SiC surface,analyzing the effects of various laser annealing param-eters.We examined changes in surface morphology,element distribution,and bonding structure of the la-ser-annealed samples using scanning electron microscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,confocal Ra-man spectroscopy,and other methods.The study revealed that improvements in electrical properties at the contact interface result from a disordered graphite structure and SiOx/Si structure with oxygen vacan-cies created by laser annealing.This structure reduces the interface Schottky barrier height,enhances con-ductivity,and shifts the Fermi level of the 4H-SiC surface,significantly boosting interface electrical prop-erties.Femtosecond laser annealing reduced the SiC interface Schottky barrier from 1.43 eV to 0.69 eV and increased the carrier concentration from 5.40×1013 cm-3 to 1.77×1018 cm-3,presenting a novel meth-od for optimizing SiC interface electrical properties with ultrafast laser annealing.关键词
