[0030] First, passivate the surface of the semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrate with molten KOH. The etching temperature and etching time are 210°C and 15s, respectively; then, the passivated wafer is sequentially treated with acetone, methanol, and deionized water. Clean the sample, and finally, use the RCA standard cleaning process to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract

The invention discloses a production method of an ohmic contact of a semi-insulated SiC semiconductor device, which is mainly used for solving the problem that the ohmic contact is greater than contact resistance. The process is as follows: a SiC substrate is carried out the pretreatment, a GaN heavily doped layer or a SiC: Ge transition layer is outward extended on the SiC substrate; an ohmic contact region is determined on the GaN heavily doped layer or the SiC: Ge transition layer, and the GaN heavily doped layer or the SiC: Ge transition layer region in the ohmic contact region is carried out the KOH etching, thus allowing the SiC substrate in a channel region to be a Si surface; a layer of SiN materials with high dielectric constant is deposited on the ohmic contact region and the Si surface of the channel region; the SiN materials on the ohmic contact region are removed by etching, a metal is deposited on the region and an electrode is led out. The production method has the advantages that the ohmic contact is lower than the contact resistance and a sheet resistance, the service life is long and the production method can be used for the production of the ohmic contact of the semi-insulated SiC semiconductor device.
