摘要：

The impact of aluminum carbide (Al4C3) at the metal/silicon-carbide (SiC) interface is presented here with respect to 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). A post-annealing process at a high temperature (1000 degrees C) has been employed for the reaction between the aluminum and the carbon. The current density of the fabricated device was measured as similar to 13.4 A/cm(2) at 5V with a leakage current density of less than -6.84 x 10(-9) A/cm2 at -5V. The thermal-activation energy (EA = 0.35 eV) extracted from the Arrhenius plot decreased by similar to 37% via the formation of the Al4C3. According to the experiment results, the sample with the Al4C3 layer yields a rectification ratio of 1.95 x 10(9) that is 33 times higher than that of the reference SBDs. The structural defects of the SiC interface may be available for the formation of the Al4C3 layer.
