  • Process for manufacturing a schottky contact on a semiconductor substrate
    Publication number: 20060183267
    Abstract: A process realizes a Schottky contact on an epitaxial layer of a semiconductor substrate. The process includes depositing a conductive metallic layer on a surface of the epitaxial layer, with achievement of a interface region of conductive metallic layer/semiconductor. The process further comprises a ionic irradiation step directed towards the surface of the epitaxial layer for forming a modified intermediate layer of at least one surface portion of the epitaxial layer for making the electric behavior of the interface region substantially dependant on the contact between the conductive metallic layer and the obtained modified intermediate layer.
