Suppression of stacking-fault expansion in 4H-SiC PiN diodes using proton implantation to solve bipolar degradation

Abstract 4H-SiC has been commercialized as a material for power semiconductor devices. However, the long-term reliability of 4H-SiC devices is a barrier to their widespread application, and the most important reliability issue in 4H-SiC devices is bipolar degradation. This degradation is caused by t...
