Vertical conduction mechanism of the epitaxial graphene/n-type 4H-SiC heterojunction at cryogenic temperatures

Vertical diodes of epitaxial graphene on n − 4H-SiC were investigated. The graphene Raman spectra exhibited a higher intensity in the G-line than the 2D-line, indicative of a few-layer graphene film. Rectifying properties improved at low temperatures as the reverse leakage decreased over six orders...

description Vertical diodes of epitaxial graphene on n − 4H-SiC were investigated. The graphene Raman spectra exhibited a higher intensity in the G-line than the 2D-line, indicative of a few-layer graphene film. Rectifying properties improved at low temperatures as the reverse leakage decreased over six orders of magnitude without freeze-out in either material. Carrier concentration of ∼10 16 cm −3 in the SiC remained stable down to 15 K, while accumulation charge decreased and depletion width increased in forward bias. The low barrier height of 0.08eV and absence of recombination-induced emission indicated majority carrier field emission as the dominant conduction mechanism.
