Abstract
For monitoring high UV irradiance, silicon carbide (SiC) based photodiodes are used. This project characterized novel SiC UV photodiodes in terms of their spectral and integral responsivity. Special attention was paid to the aging behavior of the photodiodes due to high UV irradiance. Artificial aging of the samples were performed by illumination with a high power medium pressure mercury discharge lamp. After burn in no degradation could be measured.
