A silicon carbide Schottky UV detector technology is proposed. The Au Schot
tky contact is delimited using lift-off technology. The contact window was
open into a sandwich of SiO2 oxides in order to produce a small angle ramp
that constitutes the dielectric part of the Schottky diode termination. The
I-V and C-V characteristics measured under dark and illuminated UV irradia
tion conditions indicate a significant sensitivity with UV radiation. (C) 2
