ABSTRACTSiC is suitable for power devices but high quality SiC epitaxial layers having a high breakdown voltage are needed and thick epilayer is indispensable. In this study, CST method (Close Space Technique) was used to rapidly grow thick epitaxial layers. Source material used was 3C-SiC polycrystalline plate of high purity while 4H-SiC(0001) crystals inclined 8° off toward <1120> was used for the substrate. Quality of the epilayer was influenced significantly by pressure during growth and polarity of the substrate. A p-type conduction was obtained by changing the size of p-type source material. The carrier concentration of epilayer decreased when a lower pressure was employed. Schottky diode was also fabricated.

AbstractAnnealing of hydrogenated p-type silicon with a reverse bias applied to a Schottky diode allows us to precisely determine the dissociation frequency vA of shallow acceptor-hydrogen pairs (AH with A = B, Al, Ga, and In). The temperature dependent values of vA satisfy the relation vA = voAexp (-EA/kT), with voB = 2.8 . 1014 s-1, voAl = 3.1 . 1013 s-1, VoGa = 6.9 . 1013 s-1, and voIn = 8.4 · 1013 s-1. The dissociation energies EA depend only weakly on the acceptors: EB = (1.28±0.03)eV, EAl = (1.44±0.02) eV, EGa = (1.40±0.03) eV, and EIn = (1.42±0.05) eV. The dissociation frequency of BH pairs shifts to a lower value when H is replaced by the deuterium isotope.

The small silicon chip of Schottky diode (0.8x0.8x0.4 mm<sup>3</sup>) with planar arrangement of electrodes (chip PSD) as temperature sensor, which functions under the operating conditions of pressure sensor, was developed. The forward I-V characteristic of chip PSD is determined by potential barrier between Mo and n-Si (N<sub>D</sub> = 3 × 10<sup>15</sup> cm<sup>-3</sup>). Forward voltage U<sub>F</sub> = 208 ± 6 mV and temperature coefficient TC = -1.635 ± 0.015 mV/⁰C (with linearity k<sub>T</sub> <0.4% for temperature range of -65 to +85 ⁰C) at supply current I<sub>F</sub> = 1 mA is achieved. The reverse I-V characteristic has high breakdown voltage U<sub>BR</sub> > 85 V and low leakage current I<sub>L</sub> < 5 μA at 25 ⁰C and I<sub>L</sub> < 130 μA at 85 ⁰C (U<sub>R</sub> = 20 V) because chip PSD contains the structure of two p-type guard rings along the anode perimeter. The application of PSD chip for wider temperature range from -65 to +115 ⁰C is proved. The separate chip PSD of temperature sensor located at a distance of less than 1.5 mm from the pressure sensor chip. The PSD chip transmits input data for temperature compensation of pressure sensor errors by ASIC and for direct temperature measurement.
