Abstract

Silicon carbide (SiC) is well known by the semiconductor industry to have significant potential for electronics used in high temperature environments due to its wide bandgap. It is not so well-known, however, that SiC also has great potential in the area of magnetic field sensing. Using the recently demonstrated zero-field spin dependent recombination (SDR) phenomenon that naturally arises in SiC based devices, near-zero magnetic field measurements can be made with moderately high sensitivity.
