Popis: 4H-SiC diodes with 0.60 mm2 nickel silicide Schottky contacts were fabricated on commercial epitaxial layers. At room temperature, the diodes have specific on-resistances (RON-SP) down to 10.5 mΩcm2 and blocking voltages (VBL) up to 4.6 kV, which is equal to 93 % of the calculated parallel plane breakdown voltage for used epitaxial structure. The corresponding figure-of-merit, defined as (VBL)2/RON-SP, is equal to 2015 MW/cm2 and is among the highest FOM values reported to date. The diodes demonstrated stable operation at forward current of 1 A and VBL value in excess of 3.3 kV at ambient temperatures up to 200 °C.
