In this study ion-implanted lateral 4H-SiC pin diodes are reported, which show an unexpectedly high room temperature in-plane magnetic field sensitivity approaching 100 % at 0.5 Tesla. Using dedicated TCAD simulations the underlying transduction mechanism is studied, and the effect of implantation-induced carrier traps on the observed high sensitivity is unraveled. The study shows how such traps can greatly control the injection conditions at the highly doped implant regions providing a plausible explanation for an observed portion in the IV-characteristics of the pin diodes exhibiting the aforementioned high magnetic field sensitivity.
