Abstract

A semiconductor apparatus includes a cubic silicon carbide single crystal thin film of a multilayer structure including an Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) layer and a cubic silicon carbide single crystal layer. The apparatus also includes a substrate on which a metal layer is formed. The multilayer structure is bonded to a surface of the metal layer with the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) in direct contact with the metal layer.

Claims (7)

1. A semiconductor apparatus comprising:

a cubic silicon carbide single crystal thin film of a multilayer structure including an Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) layer and a cubic silicon carbide single crystal layer; and

a substrate on which a metal layer is formed;

wherein the multilayer structure is bonded to a surface of the metal layer with the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) in direct contact with the metal layer.

2. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the contact resistance between the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) layer and the metal layer is lower than the resistance of the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) between two opposing principal surfaces of the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0).

3. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the Al x Ga 1-x As (0.6>x≧0) layer is in ohmic contact with the metal layer.

4. The semiconductor apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the metal layer is formed of one selected from the group consisting of Ti, AuGeNi, and Ni/Ge.
