In this work, we demonstrate the stable operation of 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) p-n diodes at temperature up to 600 °C. In-depth study methods of simulation, fabrication and characterization of the 4H-SiC p-n diode are developed. The simulation results indicate that the turn-on voltage of the 4H-SiC p-n diode changes from 2.7 V to 1.45 V as the temperature increases from 17 °C to 600 °C. The turn-on voltages of the fabricated 4H-SiC p-n diode decreases from 2.6 V to 1.3 V when temperature changes from 17 °C to 600 °C. The experimental I-V curves of the 4H-SiC p-n diode from 17 °C to 600 °C agree with the simulation ones. The demonstration of the stable operation of the 4H-SiC p-n diodes at high temperature up to 600 °C brings great potentials for 4H-SiC devices and circuits working in harsh environment electronic and sensing applications.

In this study, we report electric discharge machining (EDM) as a new cutting method for silicon carbide (SiC) single crystals. Moreover, we discuss characteristics and usefulness of the EDM for the SiC. The EDM realized not only high speed and smooth cutting but also lower surface damage. Defect propagation in the EDM SiCs have been also estimated by etch pits observation using molten KOH, however, we confirmed the EDM has caused no damage inside the SiCs in spite of high voltage and high temperature during the machining.

ABSTRACTDue to tightening restrictions on combustion exhaust emissions, low-cost sensors are desired for monitoring NOx production in high-temperature exhaust streams. This paper reports the characterization of Silicon Carbide MOSFET NO sensors for use in combustion exhaust monitoring. SiC depletion-mode MOSFETs were fabricated using a thermally-grown silicon dioxide gate dielectric and a Pt catalytic metal gate electrode. SiC MOSFET gas sensors were characterized at temperatures as high as 525°C in an ambient of synthetic air and NO (50–200 ppm) for 30 hours with no degradation.
