A Compact Model for SiC Junction Barrier Schottky Diode for High-Voltage and High-Temperature Applications

Navarro D., Herrera F., Miura-Mattausch M., Mattausch H.J., Miura-Mattausch M., Takusagawa M., Kobayashi J., Hara M., Hiroshima University, JP

SiC-based Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) Diode is employed in power conversion applications because of its low-leakage current and high switching speed characteristics even at elevated temperatures. JBS structure originates from Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) structure, [...]

Study on the Heat Transfer Capability of Silicon Carbide – Ethylene Glycol Nanofluid

Bobbo S., Colla L., Scattolini M., Fedele L., Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, IT

Ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing silicon carbide (SiC) in the concentrations 0.1, 1 and 5 wt% were characterized, in order to understand their potentiality to improve the heat transfer efficiency of the base fluid. Measurements performed [...]

Interfacial Studies of CrSi2/ HfO2 thin films as High k Metal Gate Dielectric layer on SiC devices

Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

High k dielectric metal oxide films have attracted much attention as promising candidates in place of SiO2. The use of high –k/metal gate technology will provide cost, performance and power savings. To increase the capacitance [...]

Detailed studies of graphene grown on C-face SiC

Virojanadara C., Linkoeping University, SE

The registry of adjacent graphene layers grown on the C-terminated SiC surface has been reported to be dramatically different compared to graphene grown on the Si-terminated SiC(0001) surface. Whereas Si-face graphene exhibits sharp spots in [...]

The accurate Electro-Thermal Model of Merged SiC PiN Schottky Diodes

Zubert M., Starzak L., Jablonski G., Napieralska M., Janicki M., Napieralski A., Technical University of Lodz, PL
