Ti/WSi/Ni contact to n-type SiCN was investigated using the circular transmission line method. Current-voltage characteristics, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the contacts before and after annealing. It is shown that the conducting behavior of the contacts is dependent on the annealing temperature. After annealing at 900 ı C or above, ohmic contacts with specific contact resistivity were achieved. The 1000ı C-annealed contact exhibits the lowest specific contact of 3.07 10 5 cm 2 . The formation of ohmic contact with low specific contact resistivity was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
