Mechanical Stress Effects on 4H-Silicon Carbide Power Diodes

This study discusses the effect of stress on 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) power diodes using numerical simulations. Two power diodes were evaluated; namely, a 600 V PiN diode and 1.8 kV junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diode. Stress changes the carrier mobilities in the material of the PiN diode of a...

description This study discusses the effect of stress on 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) power diodes using numerical simulations. Two power diodes were evaluated; namely, a 600 V PiN diode and 1.8 kV junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diode. Stress changes the carrier mobilities in the material of the PiN diode of a bipolar diode; that is, the mobility is enhanced by the piezoresistive effect, which minimizes the on-resistance or leakage current. The simulation results demonstrate that compressive stress can have a positive effect on the device operation, particularly in p^+-substrate power diodes. Regarding the JBS diode, the GPa-order tensile stress positively effects both forward and reverse characteristics. A cantilever structure is suitable for JBS diodes, and press-pack packaging for PiN diodes can enhance the device characteristics.
