Dependence of the Carrier Removal Rate in 4H-SiC PN Structures on the Irradiation Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of 15 MeV proton irradiation temperatures (room temperature (RT) - 700 ° C) on the processes of defect formation in commercially available 4H-SiC JBS structures has been studied. It has been shown that the carrier removal rate does not depend on the irradiation temperature. At the same time, the irradiation temperature affected on the spectrum of introduced radiation defects. The conclusion about the possible influence of SiC crystal lattice structural defects on the processes of radiation defect formation has been made.
