Abstract

1,234,976. Vacuum deposition. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Sept.3, 1969 [Aug.13, 1968], No. 38760/68, Heading C7F. [Also in Division H1] An electrical contact is provided on a silicon carbide body by heating it to at least 100‹C. (preferably above 250‹C.) in vacuo, maintaining these conditions while a layer of titanium and an overlayer of a protective metal e.g. silver or gold are deposited and then cooling to room temperature. The contacts may be defined by depositing through a mask or by form-etching a layer deposited overall. In the embodiment silicon carbide wafers are disposed over apertures in a heated steel plate above sources of titanium and silver contained respectively in a molybdenum spiral and a tantalum boat, the wafers having been pre-treated in a mixture of potassium dichromate and phospharic acid, degreased and finally rinsed in hydrofluoric acid. The spiral and boat, separated by a baffle to prevent cross-contamination, are successively heated to deposit the two metals to thicknesses of .1Á and 1Á respectively, a baffle being placed in front of the wafers in the early stages of each evaporation to arrest impurities. Finally tinned copper wires are soldered to the coated areas or gold wires if gold is used as protective metal.
