Problems solved by technology

The Schottky contact layer of the Schottky nodule battery covers the entire battery area. After the incident particles reach the surface of the device, they will be blocked by the Schottky contact layer. Only some particles can enter the interior of the device, while the particles entering the depletion region will It contributes to the output power of the battery. Therefore, the nuclear battery with this structure has a large energy loss of incident particles and low energy conversion efficiency.

Abstract

The invention discloses a silicon carbide schottky junction type nuclear battery comprising a niobium doped n-type epitaxial layer. The silicon carbide schottky junction type nuclear battery comprises an n-type Ohmic contact electrode 8, an n-type SiC substrate 7, an n-type SiC epitaxial layer 6, a SiO2 passivation layer 5, a schottky metal contact layer 4, a schottky contact electrode 3, a bonding layer 2 and a radioactive isotope source layer 1 successively from bottom to top, wherein the n-type SiC epitaxial layer 6 is formed by injecting niobium ions having energy which is in the range from 2000KeV to 2500KeV and having a dosage which is in the range from 5*10<13> cm<-2> to 1*10<15> cm<-2>, wherein the doping concentration of the n-type SiC epitaxial layer 6 is in the range from 1*10<13> cm<-3> to 5*10<14> cm<-3>. According to the invention, the carrier concentration of the epitaxial layer is low and the depletion region width is wide, so the collection efficiency of generated electron hole pairs can be improved, so that the device open-circuit voltage and energy conversion efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the cross technical field of nuclear technology and microelectronics, and in particular relates to a silicon carbide Schottky junction nuclear battery, which can directly convert nuclear energy emitted by isotopes into electric energy. technical background [0002] In 1953, it was discovered that β particles produced by isotope decay can generate electron-hole pairs in semiconductors, and this phenomenon is called β voltage effect. In 1957, people first applied the β voltage effect to the power supply, and successfully manufactured the first isotope micro-battery. Since 1989, GaN, GaP, AlGaAs, polysilicon and other materials have been used as materials for β-Voltaic batteries. With the preparation of the wide bandgap semiconductor material SiC and the advancement of process technology, since 2006, there have been reports on SiC-based isotope micro-batteries at home and abroad.
