This paper reports on the macro- and nanoscale electro-structural evolution, as a function of annealing temperature, of nickel-silicide Ohmic contacts to 3C-SiC, grown on 6H-SiC substrates by a Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) technique. The structural and electrical characterization of the contacts, carried out by combining different techniques, showed a correlation between the annealing temperature and the electrical characteristics in both the macro- and the nanoscale measurements. Increasing the annealing temperature between 600 and 950 °C caused a gradual increase of the uniformity of the nanoscale current-distribution, with an accompanying reduction of the specific contact resistance from 5 x 10-5 to 8.4 x 10-6 Ωcm2. After high temperature annealing (950 °C) the structural composition of the contacts stabilized, as only the Ni2Si phase was detected. A comparison with previous literature findings suggests a superior crystalline quality of the single domain VLS 3C-SiC layers.

This paper reports on initial fabrication and electrical characterization of 3C-SiC p+n junction diodes grown on step-free 4H-SiC mesas. Diodes with n-blocking-layer doping ranging from ~ 2 x 1016 cm-3 to ~ 5 x 1017 cm-3 were fabricated and tested. No optimization of junction edge termination or ohmic contacts was employed. Room temperature reverse characteristics of the best devices show excellent low-leakage behavior, below previous 3C-SiC devices produced by other growth techniques, until the onset of a sharp breakdown knee. The resulting estimated breakdown field of 3C-SiC is at least twice the breakdown field of silicon, but is only around half the breakdown field of <0001> 4H-SiC for the doping range studied. Initial high current stressing of 3C diodes at 100 A/cm2 for more than 20 hours resulted in less than 50 mV change in ~ 3 V forward voltage.
