The aim to realize large-scale preparation and application of silicon carbide devices is to solve the problem of forming good ohmic contact. Silicon carbide can be classified into N-type and P-type silicon carbide according to its conductivity type.
In the prior art, the research on the crystal growth of N-type silicon carbide is relatively mature, and a certain industrialization is formed. There has also been great development in N-type silicon carbide ohmic contacts, such as N-type silicon carbide ohmic contacts made of Ni-based metal having a specific contact resistance value of less than 10 -5 Ωcm 2 Magnitude, and have found wide application in device fabrication. Obtaining high quality P-type silicon carbide ohmic contacts relative to mature N-type silicon carbide ohmic contacts remains a challenge. At present, the P-type silicon carbide ohmic contact electrode mainly adopts an aluminum-titanium metal system. However, titanium is costly and is not suitable for industrial mass production.
Accordingly, in view of the above shortcomings, it is desirable to provide a method for fabricating an ohmic contact electrode for heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafers.

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any inventive effort based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.
In the description of the present specification, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", and the like used in the embodiments of the present invention are described in terms of the angles shown in the drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention. In the context of this document, it will also be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on" or "under" another element, it can be directly on the other element or be indirectly on the other element through intervening elements.
The embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of an ohmic contact electrode of a heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer, which comprises the following steps:
performing first sputtering treatment on the heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer to prepare a first aluminum metal layer on the P-type silicon carbide wafer;
performing second sputtering treatment on the P-type silicon carbide wafer to obtain a second aluminum metal layer on the first aluminum metal layer;
and annealing treatment is carried out to obtain the ohmic contact electrode of the heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer.
And forming a first aluminum metal layer and a second aluminum metal layer on the P-type silicon carbide wafer through sputtering deposition by a first sputtering process and a second sputtering process. The first aluminum metal layer is wrapped by the second aluminum metal layer, and the second aluminum metal layer plays a role in protecting the first aluminum metal layer. The preparation materials of the first aluminum metal layer and the second aluminum metal layer are aluminum, so that the cost for producing the heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer ohmic contact electrode is reduced. In addition, the first aluminum metal layer and the second aluminum metal layer are both composed of aluminum, so that the matching degree and the bonding degree of the first aluminum metal layer and the second aluminum metal layer are high.
Although the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process both form the aluminum metal layer, the power and time of the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process are different, and the thicknesses and the internal microstructures of the obtained first aluminum metal layer and the obtained second aluminum metal layer are different, so that the beneficial effects which are not possessed by a single aluminum layer can be obtained, and the heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer ohmic contact electrode can be obtained.
In some embodiments of the invention, the power of the first sputtering process is (0.28-0.34) KV× (0.24-0.28) A for 25-35 min.
In this example, the power of the first sputtering treatment was (0.28 to 0.34) kv× (0.24 to 0.28) a for 25 to 35 minutes, and a thicker first aluminum metal layer could be obtained.
In some embodiments of the invention, the second sputtering process is performed at a power of 0.72KV by 0.02A for a period of 8 to 12 minutes.
In this example, the second sputtering process was performed at a power of 0.72kv×0.02A for a period of 8 to 12 minutes, and a thinner second aluminum metal layer was obtained.
In some embodiments of the invention, the annealing treatment is performed at a temperature of 750-850 ℃ for a time of 1-2 minutes.
In this embodiment, the annealing process is lower in temperature and more energy efficient than prior art titanium containing schemes.
It should be noted that, the annealing temperature lower than 750 ℃ is unfavorable for the bonding between Al and SiC, because the melting point of Al is 700 ℃, and the temperature higher than 850 ℃ may cause the Al metal layer to be detached due to the excessive temperature.
In some embodiments of the invention, the doping concentration of the P-type silicon carbide wafer is greater than or equal to 1.18X10 20 cm -3 。
In the prior art, the heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer is difficult to prepare a high-quality ohmic contact electrode, and the preparation method provided by the invention can be applied to the preparation method with the doping concentration of more than or equal to 1.18 multiplied by 10 20 cm -3 The heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer has lower production cost. The concentration was lower than 1.18X10 20 cm -3 The method can be applied to P-type silicon carbide as well.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process are each performed by applying a high temperature to metallic aluminum to evaporate the metallic aluminum to a P-type silicon carbide wafer;
before the first sputtering process is performed, further comprising:
and performing pre-sputtering treatment on the metal aluminum to remove oxidized impurities on the surface of the metal aluminum.
In this embodiment, oxidation may occur on the surface of the metal aluminum, and in order to obtain the high-quality first aluminum metal layer and the high-quality second aluminum metal layer, the metal aluminum needs to be subjected to a pre-sputtering treatment to remove impurities.
It is understood that the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process may use the same metal aluminum target, or may use two metal aluminum targets, respectively.
In some embodiments of the invention, the pre-sputter treatment is performed for a period of 13 to 17 minutes.
In this example, the impurities can be removed by a pre-sputter treatment for 13-17 min.
In some embodiments of the invention, the P-type silicon carbide wafer is covered with a reticle, and the reticle is etched to have a hollowed-out structure matching with the electrode pattern by a photolithography technique.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first sputtering process and the second sputtering process are performed in a vacuum environment.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a heavily doped P-type silicon carbide wafer ohmic contact electrode, which is prepared by the preparation method according to any one of the above embodiments.

The effect was similar to that of comparative example 3.
Comparative example 6
Comparative example 6 is substantially the same as example 1 except that the power of the first sputtering treatment is 0.32kv×0.1A.
The effect was similar to that of comparative example 4.
Comparative example 7
Comparative example 7 was substantially the same as example 1 except that the power of the second sputtering treatment was 1.2kv×0.02A.
The second aluminum metal layer has larger thickness due to higher power, and electrodes are adhered together during annealing, so that the formation of the electrodes is not facilitated.
Comparative example 8
Comparative example 8 was substantially the same as example 1 except that the power of the second sputtering treatment was 0.45kv×0.02A.
Because the second aluminum metal layer has smaller thickness due to smaller power, the thinner Al layer is quickly consumed during annealing, and effective protection cannot be formed on the first aluminum metal layer.
Comparative example 9
Comparative example 9 is substantially the same as example 1 except that the power of the second sputtering treatment is 0.72kv×0.04A.
The effect was similar to that of comparative example 7.
Comparative example 10
Comparative example 10 was substantially the same as example 1 except that the power of the second sputtering treatment was 0.72kv×0.005A.
The effect was similar to that of comparative example 8.
Comparative example 11
Comparative example 11 is substantially the same as example 1 except that the temperature of the annealing treatment is 600 ℃.
Since the annealing temperature is too low, al is in a solid state and cannot react with the SiC surface, which would be detrimental to the bond between the first aluminum metal layer and SiC.
Comparative example 12
Comparative example 12 is substantially the same as example 1 except that the temperature of the annealing treatment is 900 ℃.
The aluminum metal layer is peeled off due to the excessively high annealing temperature.
The aluminum metal layer includes a first aluminum metal layer and/or a second aluminum metal layer.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and are not limiting; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
