摘要
The possibility to increase the responsivity of 4H-SiC p(+)-n-n(+)-photodiodes by varying the thickness of the p+-epilayer has been studied. It is shown that the thinning of the upper epilayer by RIE with the use of metal contacts as a mask makes it possible to control both the maximum responsivity and the spectral dependence of the responsivity of photodiodes and does not lead to degradation of dark electrical characteristics.
