Abslruct-In this letter, a novel 0-SiClSi heterojunction backward diode has been developed successfully. The developed new backward diode is somewhat different from a conventional one. The &Sic thin film was grown by a low pressure rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (LP-RTCVD) using a Si& -CsHs -H2 gas system. Its current-voltage characteristics under different operation temperatures (25-200" C) have been measured. In addition, the curvature coefficient -y has also been calculated and it is found to be insensitive to temperature variation up to 180" C.The operation temperature is the highest reported thus far, to our knowledge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
