Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electronic device based on SiC includes forming a structural layer of SiC on a front side of a substrate. The substrate has a back side that is opposite to the front side along a direction. Active regions of the electronic device are formed in the structure layer, and the active regions are configured to generate or conduct electric current during the use of the electronic device. A first electric terminal is formed on the structure layer, and an intermediate layer is formed at the back side of the substrate. The intermediate layer is heated by a LASER beam in order to generate local heating such as to favor the formation of an ohmic contact of Titanium compounds. A second electric terminal of the electronic device is formed on the intermediate layer.
