Heavy-ion-induced degradation in the reverse leakage current of SiC Schottky power diodes exhibits a strong dependence on the ion angle of incidence. This effect is studied experimentally for several different bias voltages applied during heavy-ion exposure. In addition, TCAD simulations are used to give insight on the physical mechanisms involved.

Heavy Ion Induced Degradation in SiC Schottky Diodes : Bias and Energy Deposition Dependence
Javanainen, Arto; Galloway, Kenneth F.; Nicklaw, Christopher; Bosser, Alexandre; Ferlet-Cavrois, Véronique; Lauenstein, Jean-Marie; Pintacuda, Francesco; Reed, Robert A.; Schrimpf, Ronal D.; Weller, Robert A.; Virtanen, Ari (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017)Experimental results on ion-induced leakage current increase in 4H-SiC Schottky power diodes are presented. Monte Carlo and TCAD simulations show that degradation is due to the synergy between applied bias and ion energy ... -

(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)Heavy ion irradiation increases the leakage current in reverse-biased SiC Schottky diodes. This work demonstrates, via molecular dynamics simulations, that a combination of bias and ion-deposited energy is required to ... -
Ion-Induced Energy Pulse Mechanism for Single-Event Burnout in High-Voltage SiC Power MOSFETs and Junction Barrier Schottky Diodes
Ball, D.R.; Galloway, K.F.; Johnson, R.A.; Alles, M.L.; Sternberg, A.L.; Sierawski, B.D.; Witulski, A.F.; Reed, R.A.; Schrimpf, R.D.; Hutson, J.M.; Javanainen, A.; Lauenstein, J-M. (IEEE, 2020)Heavy ion data suggest that a common mechanism is responsible for single-event burnout in 1200 V power MOSFETs and junction barrier Schottky diodes. Similarly, heavy ion data suggest a common mechanism is also responsible ... -

S.; Arslanbekov, R. R. (IEEE, 2020)The onset of ion-induced reverse leakage current in SiC Schottky diodes is shown to depend on material properties, ion LET, and bias during irradiation, but not the voltage rating of the parts. This is demonstrated ... -
