Abstract
An embodiment of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor material that comprises SiC and forming an electrically conductive contact layer on the semiconductor material. A non-ohmic contact is formed between the semiconductor material and the electrically conductive contact layer. The electrically conductive contact layer comprises a metal nitride with a nitrogen content between 10 to 50 atomic %. Additional embodiments of manufacturing a semiconductor device are described.
