摘要
Characteristics of 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes with breakdown voltages upto 1000 V are reported for the first time. The diodes showed excellent forward I-V characteristics, with a forward voltage drop of 1.06 V at an on-state current density of 100 A/cm(2). The specific on-resistance for these diodes was found to be low(2 x 10(-3) Omega-cm(2) at room temperature) and showed a T-1.6 variation with temperature; Titanium Schottky barrier height was determined to be 0.99 eV independent of the temperature, The breakdown voltage of the diodes was found to decrease with temperature.
