Fabrication of polycrystalline 3C-SiC diode for harsh environment micro chemical sensors and their characteristics

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC thin film diodes for extreme environment applications, in which the this thin film was deposited onto oxidized Si wafers by APCVD using HMDS In this work, the optimized growth temperature and HMDS flow rate were $1,100^{\circ}C$ and 8sccm, respectively. A Schottky diode with a Au, Al/poly 3C-SiC/$SiO_2$/Si(n-type) structure was fabricated and its threshold voltage ($V_d$), breakdown voltage, thickness of depletion layer, and doping concentration ($N_D$) values were measured as 0.84V, over 140V, 61nm, and $2.7{\times}10^{19}cm^2$, respectively. To produce good ohmic contact, Al/3C-SiC were annealed at 300, 400, and $500^{\circ}C$ for 30min under a vacuum of $5.0{\times}10^{-6}$Torr. The obtained p-n junction diode fabricated by poly 3C-SiC had similar characteristics to a single 3C-SiC p-n junction diode.
