Abstract
We have used the silicon-carbide(4H-SiC) instead of conventional silicon materials to develope of the planar junction barrier schottky rectifier for ultra high breakdown voltage(1,200 V grade). The substrate size is 2 inch wafer, Its concentration is $3*10^{18}/cm^{3}$ of $n^{+}-$type, thickness of epitaxial layer $12{\mu}m$ conentration is $5*10^{15}cm^{-3}$ of n-type. The fabticated devices are junction barrier schottky rectifier, The guard ring for improvement of breakdown voltage is designed by the box-like impurity of boron, the width and space of guard ring was designed by variation. The contact metals to rectify were used by the $Ni(3,000\:{\AA})/Au(2,000\:{\AA})$. As a results, the on-state voltage is 1.26 V, on-state resistance is $45m{\Omega}/cm^{3}$, maximum value of improved reverse breakdown voltage is 1180V, reverse leakage current density is $2.26*10^{-5}A/CM^{3}$. We had improved the measureme nt results of the electrical parameters.
