Abstract: The specific contact resistance of ohmic contact is deduced accurately based on the electron tunneling probabilities through the triangular barrier to be solved by the one-dimensional time-independent Schrdinger equation. The experimental results of Ni based ohmic contacts on the N-type SiC are compared with that of the simulation. The proposed method has the advantages over the WKB approximation of better accuracy and adaptation to SiC ohmic contacts.

Key words: SiC, ohmic contact, specific contact resistance, direct tunneling, WKB approximation
