Abstract(in English) Temperature dependence of current gain from 140 to 460 K in a 4H-SiC bipolar junction transistor (SiC BJT) was investigated. The current gain increased with reducing the temperature from 460 to 200 K and exhibited the maximum value of 1200 at 200 K. The higher current gain at the low temperature can be ascribed to an enhanced incomplete ionization of aluminum acceptors in the base layer, resulting in an increase of injection efficiency. However, the current gain decreased from 1200 at temperatures below 200 K. This is caused by high injection condition owing to low hole density in the base layer.
