Abstract
A method of forming an Ohmic contact on a P-type 4H—SiC and an Ohmic contact formed by the same are provided. A method of forming an Ohmic contact on a P-type 4H—SiC substrate including a deposition step of successively depositing a 1 to 60 nm thick first Al layer, Ti layer, and second Al layer on a P-type 4H—SiC substrate and an alloying step of forming an alloy layer between the SiC substrate and the Ti layer through the first Al layer by heat treatment in a nonoxidizing atmosphere. An Ohmic contact on a P-type 4H—SiC substrate formed by this method is also provided.
