3C-SiC p-n junction diodes

Abstract
3C‐SiC pn junction diodes are prepared on Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition growth with appropriate impurity doping, and their current‐voltage (IV) and capacitance‐voltage (CV) characteristics are studied. IV curves show good rectifying characteristics with a value of 3.3 for the ideal factor n and a reverse leakage current less than 10 μA at −5 V. The junction area is approximately 0.8 mm2. The built‐in voltage is around 1.4 V by CV measurements.
