Electrical Characteristics of SiC UV-Photodetector Device from the P-I-N Structure Behaviour to the Junction Barrier Schottky Structure Behaviour

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we deal with the study of Ultra Violet (UV) photodetector device based on SiC material undergoing a p-i-n structure process. Current density-voltage (J-V) measurements in reverse and forward bias, are performed on the UV photodetector device. Due to a very thin p+-type doping layer, a high reactivation annealing and the metallic contact deposit, experimental measurements point out Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) device behaviour in spite of the p-i-n structure device process. To understand this involuntary phenomenon, these experimental characteristics are accompanied with an experimental study by the SIMS analysis.
