Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, in the process from titanium sputtering to aluminum sputtering, processes such as spin-coating photoresist, etching titanium in a titanium etching solution, removing photoresist in a degumming solution, and organic cleaning are required; In this series of process steps, the titanium surface is in direct contact with the solution, which may result in the presence of organic matter and particle residues on the titanium surface
The natural oxidation of the titanium surface, organic matter and particle pollution not only increase the resistivity of the titanium surface, but also reduce the adhesion between the titanium layer and the aluminum layer, making the aluminum layer easy to fall off from the titanium surface, seriously affecting the performance of silicon carbide Schottky diodes

Abstract

The present invention provides a silicon carbide-based Schottky contact manufacturing method. The method includes the following steps that: a, a Schottky contact metal material is sputtered on the surface of a silicon carbide substrate; b, heating treatment is performed on the silicon carbide substrate which has been treated in the step a; c, the silicon carbide substrate which has been treated inthe step cools under an inert atmosphere; d, an anode metal material is sputtered on the surface of the cooled silicon carbide substrate; and e, the anode metal material and Schottky contact materialof an non-Schottky contact region are removed successively through etching, so that a Schottky contact region can be formed.
