Abstract

4H-SiC diodes with 0.60 mm(2) nickel silicide Schottky contacts were fabricated on commercial epitaxial layers. At room temperature, the diodes have specific on-resistances (RON-SP) down to 10.5 m Omega xcm(2) and blocking voltages (V-BL) up to 4.6 kV, which is equal to 93 % of the calculated parallel plane breakdown voltage for used epitaxial structure. The corresponding figure-of-merit, defined as (V-BL)(2)/RON-SP, is equal to 2015 MW/cm(2) and is among the highest FOM values reported to date. The diodes demonstrated stable operation at forward current of 1 A and V-BL value in excess of 3.3 kV at ambient temperatures up to 200 degrees C.
