Membranes of epitaxial SiC have been used as a means of eliminating the leakage current into the Si substrate during circular transmission line model (CTLM) measurements. In the n+-3C-SiC/Si wafers, the Si substrate was etched in a patterned window with dimensions up to 10 mm נ15 mm2. An array of CTLM metal contacts was then deposited onto the upper surface of the n+-SiC membrane. The CTLM contacts on the membrane have shown an ohmic current/voltage response while electrodes located on the adjacent substrate were non-ohmic. Values of ?c were measured directly on the membranes. These results have shown a significant increase ...

These results have shown a significant increase in the current flow below the metal contacts due to the presence of the Si substrate.
