Abstract

The correlation between the electrical characteristics and the crystal defects of silicon carbide diodes were studied. The function of crystal defects on stack fault formation was also discussed. Diodes with crystal defects showed a reduction in reverse breakdown voltage. Microplasma current paths were exposed on increasing the electroluminescence.
