Silicon carbide (SiC) appears today as the only semiconductor having the capability for significantly improving the ratings of major power components (such as high voltage Schottky rectifiers), indeed for creating novel devices for new applications. The choice of SiC comes from superior physical properties, an existing substrate commercialization, and an experimental confirmation of several potentialities (at high voltage, temperature, or frequency) via demonstrative prototypes. However, such a young technology still suffers from a too poor quality of the available basic materials, and from the fabrication step immaturity, delaying the SiC power electronics emergence.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

Earlier experiments proved that the surface morphology can be characterized by its fractal dimension. In this paper the dependence of the fractal dimension of the surface pattern on the heat treatment temperature and on the metal thickness is described.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.
