Abstract
Metal-semiconductor tunneling contact characteristics on the base of Silicon Carbide with trap levels in the semiconductor bandgap are theoretically examined. It is shown that the magnitude of avalanche voltage can be increased under the influence of trapping charge carriers tunneling from the metal to the semiconductor. It is shown that with the increased of temperature the breakdown avalanche voltage of the contacts is decreased.
