摘要
This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of the first high-voltage (400 V) silicon-carbide (6H-SiC) Schottky barrier diodes. Measurements of the forward I-V characteristics of these diodes demonstrate a low forward voltage drop of approximately 1.1 V at an on-state current density of 100 A/cm2 for a temperature range of 25 to 200-degrees-C. The reverse I-V characteristics of these devices exhibit a sharp breakdown, with breakdown voltages exceeding 400 V at 25-degrees-C. In addition, these diodes are shown to have superior reverse recovery characteristics when compared with high-speed silicon P-i-N rectifiers.
