Temperature Dependence of Impact Ionization Coefficients in 4H-SiC
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the impact ionization coefficients of 4H-SiC at room temperature and at elevated temperatures up to 200°C, and calculated the breakdown voltage using the obtained ionization coefficient.

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the device can operate at 450°C, which is impossible for conventional Si devices, but the current capability of the SiC JFET diminishes with rising temperatures, and the saturation current becomes 20% at450°C with respect to the value at the room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of Carrier Lifetimes in n-Type 4H-SiC Epitaxial Layers by Improved Surface Passivation
TL;DR: In this paper, the carrier lifetime of n-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers is improved from 0.68 µs to 13.1 µs by eliminating deep levels and by improving surface passivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of carrier lifetime in lightly Al-doped p-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers by combination of thermal oxidation and hydrogen annealing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the enhancement of carrier lifetime in lightly Al-doped p-type 4H-SiC epilayers (NA ≃ 2 × 1014 cm−3) by postgrowth processing.
