摘要
In this work, we investigated the effects of annealing temperature and metal thickness on the Schottky barrier height in state-of-the-art Ti/4H-SiC rectifiers. By varying these two parameters, a controlled lowering of the Schottky barrier height has been obtained, thus giving the possibility to improve the efficiency of device in terms of power consumption.
