3C-silicon carbide (3C-SiC) Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) on silicon (Si) substrates (3C-SiC-on-Si) have been found to suffer from excessive subthreshold current, despite the superior electrical properties of 3C-SiC. In turn, that is one of the fact... Read More about A Defects-Based Model on the Barrier Height Behavior in 3C-SiC-on-Si Schottky Barrier Diodes.
