Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a method of manufacturing a contact on a silicon carbide semiconductor substrate wherein the method comprises providing a 4H—SiC semiconductor substrate, irradiating a surface area of the 4H—SiC semiconductor substrate with a first thermal annealing laser beam, thereby generating a phase separation of the surface area comprising at least a 3C—SiC layer, and depositing a contact material onto the 3C—SiC layer to form a contact layer on the semiconductor substrate. The disclosure further relates to a silicon carbide semiconductor device with an Ohmic contact comprising a 4H—SiC semiconductor substrate, a 3C—SiC layer, and a contact layer directly in contact with the 3C—SiC layer at the semiconductor surface.
