  • Abstract
    We present the experimentally determined specific contact resistivity of as deposited nickel to highly doped n-type 3-C silicon carbide using a novel test structure. The specific contact resistivity, extracted using this test structure and the corresponding methodology, is (0.8-5.7)×10-6 Ω·cm2.
