Abstract

A novel n-Si/n-SiC power diode that eliminates the p-n junction and exploits solely the Si-SiC heterojunction rectifying properties is presented in this work. Modelling work has been carried out to confirm device physics concept; initial devices have been manufactured and tested, and very encouraging results are achieved.
