Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of production of an SiC semiconductor device, which can form an ohmic electrode while preventing electrode metal from diffusing in the SiC single crystal substrate, includes a step of forming an ohmic electrode on an SiC substrate, characterized by forming a gettering layer with a defect density higher than the SiC substrate on that substrate to be parallel with the substrate surface, then forming the ohmic electrode the gettering layer outward from the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of production of an SiC semiconductor device, comprising: forming a gettering layer in an SiC layer by implanting, into a region of the SiC layer, ions having little effect on a conductivity of the region of the SiC layer, the gettering layer having a defect density higher than a defect density of the SiC layer and being parallel to a surface of the SiC layer, wherein the ions are selected from a group consisting of Si, C, H, and a rare gas; a…
