This volume collects the papers from the 16th International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM 2015), held in Giardini Naxos, Italy, in October 2015. During the conference, the researchers discussed issues in the field of wide bandgap semiconductors, focusing on silicon carbide, but also III-nitrides, and related materials like graphene.
The major sections of the book collect papers in the area of material growth, characterization, processing, devices and related materials and technologies.
The papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: SiC Growth
Chapter 2: SiC Theory and Characterization
Chapter 3: SiC Processing
Chapter 4: SiC Devices
Chapter 5: Related MaterialsThe 243 papers are grouped as follows:
I. SiC Growth;
I.1 Bulk Growth;
I.2 Epitaxial and Thin Film Growth;
II. SiC Theory and Characterization;
II.1 Fundamental and Material Properties;
II.2 Point and Extended Defects;
II.3 Surfaces and Interfaces;
III. SiC Processing;
III.1 Doping, Implantation and Contact;
III.2 Dielectric Growth and Characterization;
III.3 Etching and Machining;
IV. SiC Devices;
IV.1 Diodes;
IV.2 Field Effect Transistors;
IV.3 Other Devices;
V. Related Materials;
V.1 Other Carbon Based Materials;
V.2 Nitrides and Other Materials
The aim of this collection of peer-reviewed papers is to promote the open discussion of SiC hetero-epitaxy as related to the possibility of growing SiC on other materials and of growing various SiC polytypes so as to take advantage of the possibilities of band-gap engineering, These proceedings present the latest developments in Silicon Carbide, and the prospects for Gallium Nitride (GaN on Si, SiC, sapphire and free-standing) and Diamond power electronics. Finally, the progress made in Graphene technology, such as its introduction into devices and its relationship to SiC epitaxial material, is considered.
