Abstract
Pd/β-SiC Schottky junctions using both epilayer and bulk SiC were fabricated and characterised by current-voltage (I-V) measurements. The effect of operating temperature on IN characteristics was studied. The ideality factor improved considerably at higher temperature. Annealing of Pd/β-SiC Schottky junctions at 400°C improved the junction characteristics, which deteriorated at 800°C due to degradation of Al/SiC ohmic contacts. These junctions are suitable for gas sensor applications at elevated temperatures.
