This book presents the fundamentals of the thermoelectrical effect in silicon carbide (Si C), including the thermoresistive, thermoelectric, thermocapacitive and thermoelectronic effects. It summarizes the growth of Si C, its properties and fabrication processes for Si C devices and introduces the thermoelectrical sensing theories in different Si C morphologies and polytypes. Further, it reviews the recent advances in the characterization of the thermoelectrical effect in Si C at high temperatures. Discussing several desirable features of thermoelectrical Si C sensors and recent developments in these sensors, the book provides useful guidance on developing high sensitivity and linearity, fast-response Si C sensing devices based on thermoelectrical effects.
