摘要
The I-V characteristics of high-voltage 4H-SiC diodes with a Schottky barrier similar to 1.1 eV in height are measured and analyzed. The forward I-V characteristics proved to be close to "ideal" in the temperature range of 295-470 K. The reverse I-V characteristics are adequately described by the model of thermionic emission at the voltages to 2 kV in the temperature range of 361-470 K if, additionally, a barrier lowering with an increase in the band bending in the semiconductor is taken into account.
