摘要：
Stacking fault growth in 4H SiC PiN diodes at I A (160 A/cm(2)) has been examined by light emission imaging. Dark areas of reduced current flow develop due to stacking fault nucleation and growth. The voltage increase at constant current varies by an order of magnitude within the same wafer and the length scale of the variations is 2-3 mm. The variations are explained by the number of stacking faults that nucleate and by pinning of the stacking fault growth.
