I – V characteristics of Ti/Al based contact onto p⁺-type 4H-SiC epilayer. (a) Ti(100 nm)/Al(100 nm) annealed at 1000 °C for 3 min, (b) Ti(100 nm)/Al(100 nm) annealed at 900 °C for 5 min, (c) Ti(100 nm)/Al(100 nm)/Ti(50 nm) annealed at 1000 °C for 3 min, and (d) comparison among curves 1–2 in the panels (a)–(c) before and after annealing.
