- Symposium Silicon Carbide as Quantum-Classical Platform – 75th Anniversary of the Chair of Applied Physics17. August 2023Silicon carbide (SiC) has developed into a high-performance semiconductor technology in recent years. This goes hand in hand with excellent monocrystalline wafer material and continuously improving process technology as well as understanding of SiC’s fundamental material and device physics. However, SiC and its derived materials, epitaxial graphene and SiC’s point...

- Rectification in Schottky diodes in the infrared regime8. June 2022How fast does a diode actually work? If it is operated under ideal conditions, it can be recharged up to 2 trillion times per second – until now, it has not been possible to go faster in conventional high-frequency circuits. Using a physical trick, a research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg...
