The fabrication and electrical characterization of Scho tt ky barrier diodes (SBD) on 6H-SiC,via thermal evaporation of Ni are reported.Th e Schottky barrier diodes are fabricated during the 6H-SiC epilayers grow n by using chemical vapor deposition on commercially available single-crystal 6 H-SiC wafers.The I-V characteristics of these diodes exhibit a sharp break down,with the breakdown voltage of 450V at room temperature.The diodes are demon strated to be of a low reverse leakage current of 5×10 -4 A·cm -2 at the bias voltage of -200V.The ideal factor and barrier height are 1 09 and 1 24-1 26eV,respectively.
A new technique to fabricate silicon condenser microphone is presented.The technique is based on the use of oxidized porous silicon as sacrificial layer for the air gap and the heavy p+-doping silicon of approximately 15μm thickness for the stiff backplate.The measured sensitivity of the microphone fabricated with this technique is in the range from -45dB(5.6mV/Pa) to -55dB(1.78mV/Pa) under the frequency from 500Hz to 10kHz,and shows a gradual increase at higher frequency.The cut-off frequency is above 20kHz.
