Feasibility of Silicon Carbide High Frequency, High Power Devices.

Abstract

Several material parameters of SiC were examined and figures of merit calculated to show the potential of SiC as a high frequency, high power device material. Schottky barrier diodes were prepared on n-type SiC by sputtering on a gold layer. The barrier voltage, measured by three techniques, was found to be 1.40 plus or minus 0.05 eV. An initial study was made on ion implanted layers (N2 into p-type SiC) but usuable diodes were not obtained. (Author)
