摘要
It was demonstrated that Silicon Carbide Schottky Barrier Diodes exhibited anomalous charge collection with heavy ion irradiation. Consequently, the permanent damage and Single-Event Burnout was observed in spite of no known current sustaining mechanism. A model for the mechanism was proposed based on the device simulation.
