摘要: A method for manufacturing an ohmic contact on a semiconductor device, as disclosed herein, includes first step of etching via through non-conductive layer formed over partially fabricated version the device. This exposes region device element such source, gate electrode, etc. Next, including tantalum and silicon is deposited in vias by sputtering argon atmosphere. Thereafter, same processing apparatus, barrier nitride layer. Then aluminum alloy metallization directly at temperature least 650° C. At this deposition temperature, conformally fills via, thereby producing stable, uniform contact.
