Based on finite elements method, thermal simulations were conducted to reproduce a laser annealing of several common metals deposited on 4H-SiC. We estimated the temperature reached at the metal/4H-SiC interface to check the possibility to achieve ohmic contact formation through laser annealing. An optimization of Al/Ti/4H-SiC stacking was also considered. Simulations highlighted the low temperature of the non-irradiated SiC face that allows using grinded wafer.
