Silicon Carbide BJT Oscillator Design Using S-Parameters

Converter Using Silicon Carbide Schottky Diode

Silicon carbide (SiC) is the perfect cross between silicon and diamond. The crystal lattice of SiC is identical to silicon and diamond, but, exactly half the lattice sites are occupied by silicon atoms and half by carbon atoms. Like-diamond siC has electronic properties superior to silicon, but, unlike diamond it is also manufacturable. The thermal leakage current (dark current) in SiC is sixte...

Boron carbide/n-silicon carbide heterojunction diodes

Silicon carbide microdisk resonator.

We demonstrate a silicon carbide (SiC) microdisk resonator with an intrinsic optical quality factor of 6.19×10(3), fabricated on the 3C-SiC-on-Si platform. We characterize the temperature dependence of the cavity resonance and obtain a thermo-optic coefficient of 2.92×10(-5)/K for 3C-SiC. Our simulations show that the device exhibits great potential for cavity optomechanical applications.

Silicon Carbide Neutron Detectors

The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
