摘要
The high-temperature dielectric properties of thin-film AlN that were pulsed-laser deposited on a heavily doped n-type 6H-SiC substrate are investigated from 25 to 450 degrees C. Capacitor leakage current densities of low 10(-8) A/cm(2) at 25 degrees C and mid 10(-3) A/cm(2) at 450 degrees C are reported for a 1.7 MV/cm dielectric field. The primary high-temperature leakage mechanism appears to be Schottky emission with a zero-field barrier height of 1.76 eV. A dielectric strength in excess of 1.7 MV/cm at 450 degrees C is reported.
