Abstract
Cr/4H‐SiC Schottky contacts were investigated by standard electrical measurements and photoelectron spectroscopy. XPS (X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) measurements were performed during the in‐situ formation of the metal‐semiconductor interface formation as well as after several annealing steps of the Cr/4H‐SiC contact. A barrier height of 1.2 eV was determined from XPS measurements. The electrical measurements have showed the necessity of thermal annealing at 600 °C to obtain best performance (Φ~B~ = 1.05 eV from C‐V measurements and 0.94 eV from I‐V measurements with ideality factor n = 1.08).
