Prezentare succintă a rezultatelor obținute în cadrul proiectului.
Obiectivul central al proiectului SOLARSiC a fost proiectarea, fabricarea si testarea unor fotodetectori pe SiC pentru domeniul UV. In urma optimizarii tehnologiei de fabricare a structurilor de test s-a ajuns la concluzia ca fotodetectorul UV trebuie sa aiba la baza o dioda Schottky (structura verticala) cu un electrod de poarta (anod) transparent (ITO) tratat la o temperatura moderata (400°C) si un contact ohmic (catod) format dintr-un sandwich metalic Ti/Ni tratat la o temperatura ridicata (1050°C, 3 min, atmosfera de Ar). Astfel, raspunsul fotodetectorului UV, respectiv performantele sale electrice sunt semnificativ mai bune dupa aplicarea tratamentelor termice, asigurand pe de o parte o mai buna omogenitate a contactului, iar pe de alta parte un fotoraspuns la lumina UV de 3 ordine de marime si timpi de reactie foarte mici ( <1s). Pentru testarea si validarea in conditii de laborator ale structurilor de test, acestea au fost incapsulate utilizand tehnologia firului de aur, un exemplu fiind prezentat in Fig. 1.

Fotodetectorii au fost testati electric la mai multe lungimi de unda din domeniul UV + vizibil, cu accent pe domeniul UV (368, 396 nm), atat in regim static (caracteristici I-V), cat si in regim dinamic (caracteristici I-t, la V = const.). De asemenea, au fost aplicate doua densitati de putere a intensitatii luminoase (10 mW∕cm2, respectiv 50 mW∕cm2). Performantele fotodetectorilor fabricati pe SiC au fost validate in conditii de laborator prezentand o crestere cu 3 ordine de marime a curentului si un timp de raspuns in regim dinamic mai mic de 1s (Fig. 2).
