Interest of Using a Micro-Meter Spatial Resolution to Study SiC Semi-Conductor Devices by Optical Beam Induced Current (OBIC)

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we present a new test bench called micro-OBIC used to characterized wide band gap semi-conductor. Micro-OBIC allows to get an Optical Beam Induced Current (OBIC) signal with a microscopic spatial resolution. We used micro-OBIC to characterize peripheral protection such as MESA, JTE or JTE in high voltage SiC device.
