| Popis: | Junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes in 6H SiC have been fabricated and characterised electrically. This device, demonstrated in silicon technology, has the advantage of a low forward voltage drop comparable to that of Schottky diodes, as well as a high blocking voltage and low reverse leakage current of a pn junction. This is especially attractive for wide bandgap materials such as SiC in which pn junctions have a large forward voltage drop. The devices were capable of blocking up to 1100 V with a leakage current density of 0.15 A cm −2 , limited by the leakage when the drift region was fully depleted, or breakdown of the SiC material itself. The forward conduction was limited by an on-resistance of 20 mΩ cm 2 , resulting in forward voltage drops of 2.6 V at 100 A cm −2 . |
