Complex impedance

R decreases from 1.4 M to 0.08 M at 190oC and 500oC, respectively

Perfect semi-circle at 190oC Tail appears at low frequency at 500oC

Space charge polarization phenomena

Space charge polarization

Higher T leads to much lower R

Tails at low f grow with T

Highest space charge polarization appears at around 700oC

More charge carriers are generated in SiC

improving the C and apparent

Indicating enhancing space charge behavior

It is the space charge behavior that gives rise to the extremely high

Charge carriers accumulate at the insulation boundary to form space charge region

4. Summary

Space charge behavior appears with temperature for the SiC-based BLCs

The space charge behavior leads to the extremely high , and lowers the tan
