The damage produced by 2 MeV protons on a 4H-SiC Schottky diode has been investigated by monitoring the charge collection efficiency as the function of the ion fluence. A new algorithm based on the Shockley-Ramo-Gunn theorem has been developed to interpret the experimental results. The fitting procedure provides a parameter which is proportional to the average number of active electrical traps generated by a single ion, which can be profitably used to estimate the radiation hardness of the material.

Abstract

The damage produced by 2 MeV protons on a 4H-SiC Schottky diode has been investigated by monitoring the charge collection efficiency as the function of the ion fluence. A new algorithm based on the Shockley-Ramo-Gunn theorem has been developed to interpret the experimental results. The fitting procedure provides a parameter which is proportional to the average number of active electrical traps generated by a single ion, which can be profitably used to estimate the radiation hardness of the material.
