Abstract

Planar, high voltage (800 V) P-N junction diodes have been fabricated for the first time on N-type 6H-SiC by room temperature boron implantation through a pad oxide deposited within windows etched in an LPCVD field oxide. All the diodes showed excellent rectification with leakage currents of less than 10 nA (/spl sim/5/spl times/10/sup -5/ A/cm/sup 2/) until avalanche breakdown. It was found that the breakdown voltage increases with junction depth. The reverse recovery time (t/sub rr/) was measured to be 50 ns for the 800 V diode from which an effective minority carrier life time of 12.5 ns was extracted.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
