Description: 
Silicon carbide is a promising wide-gap material because of its excellent electrical and physical properties, which are very relevant to technological applications. In particular, silicon carbide can represent a good alternative to Si in applications like the inner tracking detectors of particle physics experiments [1]. In this work p+/n SiC diodes realized on a medium doped (1× 1015 cm-3), 40 µm thick epitaxial layer are exploited as detectors and measurements of their charge collection properties under beta particle radiation from Sr90 source are presented. Preliminary results till 900 V reverse voltage show a good collection efficiency of 1700 e-and a collection length (ratio between collected charges and generated eh pairs/µm) equal to the estimated width of the depleted region.
