Popis: The structural properties of sputtered carbon films on SiC are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman scattering. The as-deposited films are amorphous with an sp2/sp3 ratio of 1. The sp2 carbon structures gradually increase with increasing temperatures and consist of amorphous aromatic-like carbon, polyene-like carbon, and nano-size graphite flakes. Schottky contacts on carbon/SiC are converted to ohmic contacts after annealing. The concentration of nano-graphitic flakes relative to the aromatic-like and polyene-like carbon increases nearly linearly with annealing temperature. Stacked graphitic structures are not observed. The specific contact resistivities are at 10−3–10−4Ωcm2 on the carbon/SiC after annealing from 1050°C to 1350°C.
