The small silicon chip of Schottky diode (0.8 × 0.8 × 0.4 mm3) with planar arrangement of electrodes (chip PSD) as temperature sensor, which functions under the operating conditions of pressure sensor, was developed. The forward current-voltage I–V characteristic of chip PSD is determined by potential barrier between Mo and n-Si (ND = 3 × 1015 cm−3). Forward voltage UF = 208 ± 6 mV and temperature coefficient TC = -1.635 ± 0.015 mV/°C (with linearity kT < 0.4 % for temperature range of -65 to +85 °C) at supply current IF =1 mA is achieved. The reverse I–V characteristic has high breakdown voltage UBR > 85 V and low leakage current IL < 5 μA at 25 °C and IL < 130 μA at 85 °C (UR = 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 °C 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.

ABSTRACTAlN films with thicknesses from 53 to 79 nm were deposited on 6H-SiC substrates via Plasma Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (PSMBE). The influence of deposition temperature on the growth mode and film roughness was assessed. The optical constants of the films in the range 0.73-8.75 eV were determined using spectroscopic ellipsometry. Pt/AlN/6H-SiC MIS structures were created and current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were performed at room temperature and at 250°C. Most of the MIS structures showed rectifying I-V characteristics regardless of growth temperature. A 120-nm-thick AlN film was deposited at 500°C. MIS structures created on this film showed a very low leakage current densities of 6×10−8 A/cm2. The dielectric constant of the film was estimated at approximately 9. The relation between film structure and electrical properties of the films is discussed.

ABSTRACTOhmic and rectifying contacts on high resistivity etched P-type cadmium telluride have been studied in order to produce diode structures.For this,we have first investigated the properties of gold contacts obtained by chemical reactions of CdTe dippedin gold chloride.Both electrical characterization and structure have been analyzed as a function of the experimental conditions of the contact deposition.The results can be interpreted in terms of a current flow enhanced by tunnelling through the Au-CdTe junction and related to the structure of the interface a few tens of nanometer below the gold contact. In addition,several rectifying contacts have been investigated , in order to achieve a structure having low leakage current.

In this paper we present highly uniform SiC epitaxy in a horizontal hot-wall CVD reactor with wafer rotation. Epilayers with excellent thickness uniformity of better than 1% and doping uniformity better than 5% are obtained on 3-in, 4° off-axis substrates. The same growth conditions for uniform epitaxy also generate smooth surface morphology for the 4° epiwafers. Well controlled doping for both n- and p-type epilayers is obtained. Abrupt interface transition between n- and pdoped layers in a wide doping range is demonstrated. Tight process control for both thickness and doping is evidenced by the data collected from the epi operations. The average deviation from target is 2.5% for thickness and 6% for doping. PiN diodes fabricated on a standard 3-in, 4° epiwafer have shown impressive performance. More than half of the 1 mm2 devices block 1 kV (2.3 MV/cm) with a low leakage current of 1 μA.

This study deals with the electrical characterization of PiN diodes fabricated on a 4°off-axis 4H-SiC n+ substrate with a n- epilayer (1×1016 cm-3 / 10 µm). Optimized p++ epitaxial areas were grown by Vapour-Liquid-Solid (VLS) transport to form p+ emitters localized in etched wells with 1 µm depth. Incorporated Al level in the VLS p++ zones was checked by SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy), and the doping level was found in the range of 1-3×1020 at.cm-3. Electrical characterizations were performed on these PiN diodes, with 800 nm deposit of aluminium as ohmic contact on p-type SiC. Electrical measurements show a bipolar behaviour, and very high sustainable forward current densities ≥ 3 kA.cm-2, preserving a low leakage current density in reverse bias. These measurements were obtained on structures without any passivation and no edge termination.

ABSTRACTWe have performed new measurements of the temperature and doping dependency of the piezoresistive effect in p-type silicon. Piezoresistivity is one of the most common sensing principles of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS). Our measurements are performed in a specially designed setup based on the well-known 4 point bending technique. The samples are beams of full wafer thickness. To minimize leakage currents and to obtain uniform doping profiles, we have used SIMOX (Separation by IMplantation of OXygen) substrates with resistors defined in an epitaxial layer. Spreading resistance measurements show that the doping profiles are uniform with depth, while measurements of leakage current versus temperature indicate low leakage current. In this paper we present results for the doping concentration range from 1×1017 – 1×1020 cm−3 and the temperature range from –30 to 150 degrees Celsius. The results show a doping dependency of piezoresistivity well described by the current models. The measurements of the temperature dependency of the coefficients of piezoresistivity are compared to a linear model with a negative temperature coefficient whose absolute value decreases with increasing doping.
