Effect of High Energy Electron Irradiation on Electrical and Noise Properties of 4H-SiC Schottky Diodes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electron irradiation of high voltage Ni/4H-SiC Schottky diodes with the dose Φ=(0.2-7)×1016cm-2 led to increase in the base resistance, appearance of slow relaxation processes at extremely small currents, and increase of the low frequency noise. On exponential part of the current-voltage characteristics and on linear part of current-voltage characteristics in non-irradiated samples, low frequency noise always has the form of the 1/f noise. On linear part of the current-voltage characteristics in irradiated diodes the generation recombination (GR) noise predominates. Temperature dependences of the base resistivity and character of GR noise indicate that mainly Z1/2 center contributes to the change in the parameters of irradiated samples. Capture cross section of this level, obtained from noise measurements, is within the range (8×10-16-2×10-15) cm2 and only weakly depends on temperature.
