4H-SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) with remarkable electrical performance have been fabricated and characterised. A barrier height about 1.64V and an ideality factor close to 1 are extracted from the forward characteristics measured at several temperatures. These essential Schottky contact parameters are observed to be constant with temperature. A temperature probe with a simple and innovative scheme is designed and applied. The probe uses SiC SBDs as temperature sensor in the 20-4000C range, with measured sensitivities varying from 1.3 mV/K to 2.8 mV/K. The probe is meant to monitorize the temperature inside the furnaces, in the cement industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
