Rezumat:

The promising theoretical properties of diamond, together with the recent advances in producing high-quality single crystal diamond substrates, have increased the interest in using diamond in power electronic devices. This paper presents numerical and experimental off-state results for a diamond Schottky barrier diode (SBD), one of most studied unipolar devices in diamond. Finding a suitable termination structure is an essential step towards designing a high voltage diamond device. The ramp oxide structure shows very encouraging electronic performance when used to terminate diamond SBDs. High-k dielectrics are also considered in order to further improve the reliability and electrical performance of the structure.
