Excellent reverse blocking characteristics of high-voltage 4H-SiCSchottky rectifiers with boron-implanted edge termination

Edge-terminated high-voltage Ti/4H-SiC Schottky rectifiers were successfully fabricated by using highly resistive layers at the periphery of Schottky contacts. The highly resistive layers were formed by B⁺ implantation followed by a heat treatment to improve the crystallinity of implanted layers. Utilizing these layers for the edge termination of 4H-SiC Schottky rectifiers, the reverse blocking characteristics were significantly improved in comparison with the rectifiers without edge termination, and a high-blocking voltage over 1100 V (the maximum: 1750 V) was achieved. The temperature dependence of the reverse-blocking characteristics was investigated, and high temperature operation even at 150°C was demonstrated with a blocking voltage over 1100 V     

High performance of high-voltage 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes

High performance of high-voltage rectifiers could be realized utilizing 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes. A typical specific on-resistance (R_on) of these devices was 1.4×10³ Ω cm³ at 24°C (room temperature) with breakdown voltages as high as 800 V. These devices based on 4H-SiC had R _on's lower than 6H-SiC based high-power rectifiers with the same breakdown voltage. As for Schottky contact metals, Au, Ni, and Ti were employed in this study. The barrier heights of these metals for 4H-SiC were determined by the analysis of current-voltage characteristics, and the reduction of power loss could be achieved by controlling the barrier heights     

A new 4H-SiC lateral merged double Schottky (LMDS) rectifier withexcellent forward and reverse characteristics

The novel characteristics of a new Schottky rectifier structure, known as the lateral merged double Schottky (LMDS) rectifier, on 4H-SiC are explored theoretically and compared with those of the compatible conventional 4H-SiC Schottky rectifiers. The anode of the proposed lateral device utilizes the trenches filled with a high barrier Schottky (HBS) metal to pinch off a low barrier Schottky (LBS) contact during reverse bids. Numerical simulation of any such SiC structure is complicated by the fact that the thermionic emission theory predicts the reverse leakage current to be orders of magnitude smaller than the measured data. We, therefore, first propose a simple empirical model for barrier height lowering to accurately estimate the reverse leakage current in a SiC Schottky contact. The accuracy of the empirical model is verified by comparing the simulated reverse leakage current with the reported experimental results on different SiC Schottky structures. Using the proposed empirical model, the two-dimensional (2-D) numerical simulations reveal that the new LMDS rectifier demonstrates about three orders of magnitude reduction in the reverse leakage current and two times higher reverse breakdown voltage when compared to the conventional lateral low barrier Schottky (LLBS) rectifier while keeping the forward voltage drop comparable to that of the conventional LLBS rectifier

The influence of high-temperature annealing on SiC schottky diode characteristics

The influence of high temperature (up to 800C) annealing on the current-voltage characteristics of n-type 6H-SiC Schottky diodes is presented. Our experimental results indicate that high-temperature annealing can result in the improvement of the forw ard and reverse electrical characteristics of SiC Schottky diodes by repairing any leaky low barrier secondary diode parallel to the primary diode that may be present due to the barrier inhomogeneities at the Schottky contact interface.
