Abstract

Femtosecond laser modification was used to enhance the local electrical conductivities in silicon carbide (SiC). Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the laser-modified regions were measured between the ion-implanted metal contacts on SiC. The currents of modified lines increased more than six orders of magnitude when compared with those of the non-irradiated SiC. The current sharply increased in the fluence range from 3.3 to 6.7J/cm 2. From the I-V characteristics and scanning elctroron microscope (SEM) observations, we conclude that the modification related to the formation of the classical laser-induced periodic structures causes the drastic increase of electrical conductivities.
