  • Abstract
    This paper presents static and dynamic electrical characteristics of implanted 4H-SiC PiN diodes fabricated on Si-face and C-face of lightly doped free-standing substrates. The device performance is found to be comparable to conventional diodes. Carrier lifetime of about 2.5 μs was measured for the drift region.
