Ion-Induced Anomalous Charge Collection Mechanisms in SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes

Article Preview

Abstract:

The charge induced in SiC-SBDs with different epi-layer thicknesses by ion incidence was measured to understand the mechanism of heavy-ion-induced anomalous charge collection in SiC-SBDs. SiC SBD of which epitaxial-layer thicknesses is close to ion range show larger anomalous charge collection than SBD with thicker epi-layer although the former one has lower electric field than the later one. The gains of collected charge from the SBDs suggest that the impact ionization under 0.16 - 0.18 MV/cm of the static electric field in depletion layer is not dominant mechanisms for the anomalous charge collection. It is suggested that the epitaxial-layer thickness and ion-induced transient high electric field are key to understand the anomalous charge collection mechanisms in SBDs.
