ABSTRACTThis paper reports on the relationship between the microstructure and the device performance of Pt/4H-SiC schottky barrier diodes ( SBDs ). The evolution of microstructure in the metal/SiC interfaces annealed at different temperatures was characterized using X-ray scattering techniques. The reverse characteristics of the devices were degraded with annealing temperatures. The maximum breakdown voltages of as-deposited devices and 850 °C annealed devices are 1300 V and 626 V, respectively. However, the forward characteristics of the devices were found out to improve with annealing temperatures. X-ray scattering analysis showed that Pt-silicides were formed by annealing performed at or higher than 650 °C. The formation of silicides was shown to increase the roughness of the Pt/SiC interface. It is believed that the forward characteristics of the SBDs be strongly dependent on the crystallity of silicides formed in the Pt/SiC interface during the annealing process.

We clarified the relationship between the enhanced leakage current of SiC Junction Barrier Schottky diodes and the stacking faults in the SiC crystal at the SiC and metal electrode interface by measuring the electrical and optical properties, and confirm by using the numerical simulations. Numerical simulation considering local lowering of Schottky barrier height, which is 0.8 eV lower than that of 4H-SiC well explained the 2-4 orders of magnitude higher reverse leakage current caused by the SFs. We concluded that the locally lowering of the Schottky barrier height at the 3C-SiC layer in the 4H-SiC surface is a main cause of the large reverse leakage current.
