TCAD Application Power Devices Example 

This Sentaurus TCAD simulation project provides a template setup for the simulation of silicon-carbide devices. Special attention is given to the changes in the numeric accuracy settings required to simulate large bandgap materials such as silicon carbide. For the example of a Schottky diode, the forward IV and the reverse breakdown characteristics are simulated.

SiC Schottky diode generated by Sentaurus Structure Editor; concentrations of dopants in various regions are shown; donors 5x10¹⁸ cm³ (red) and donors 6x10¹⁵ cm³ (blue)

Reverse breakdown characteristics: anode current as a function of anode voltage for SiC Schottky diode simulated by Sentaurus Device
