摘要: This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of the lateral Ti/4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). SBDs are fabricated by nitrogen ion implantation into p-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layer. The implant depth profile is simulated using the Monte Carlo simulator TRIM. Measurements of the reverse I-V characteristics demonstrate a low reverse current, that is good enough for many SiC-based devices such as SiC metal-semiconductor field-effect transistors, and SiC static induction transistors. The parameters of the diodes are extracted from the forward I-V characteristics. The barrier height φ_b of Ti/4H-SiC is 0.95 eV.
