概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

Compared with silicon (Si) counterparts, silicon carbide (SiC) power electronic devices can have smaller size, lower losses, higher operating temperature, and higher operation frequency due to their unique properties like wide bandgap, high electric field breakdown strength, high saturated electron drift velocity, and high thermal conductivity [1,2]. For SiC power devices on Si substrate, the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between SiC and Si plays an important role in its performance, reliability, and lifetime. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the TBC of SiC-Si interface, for which there is limited publication. In this work, the wafer bonding method is used to bond SiC to Si directly. The time-domain thermoreflectance method is used to measure the SiC-Si TBC. With the developed mapping system, not only the value of TBC but also the spatial distribution of TBC was obtained, which provides more detailed and stochastic knowledge about thermal transport at the SiC-Si interface. 

実験 / Experimental

A homemade time-domain thermoreflectance setup is used to measure the SiC-Si TBC. To get a clear understanding of the result, STEM is used to observe the fine image of the cross-section around the interface, as shown in Fig. 1.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

The TBC of the interface between Si and SiC is 206 ± 36 MW/m2K. This High TBC observed at the bonded SiC-Si interface will aid the efficient heat dissipation of SiC power devices. Besides, the presence of the fluctuation in the spatial distribution of the TBC indicates the superiority of TDTR mapping technic and the necessity in probing and controlling the interfacial spatial uniformity.
